As seen on seclists nanog and CERT NZ: "If you have not already seen it, experiences it, or read about it, working to head off another reflection DOS vector. This time it is memcached on port 11211 UDP & TCP. There are active exploits using these ports. Reflection attacks and the memcached is not new. We know how reflection attacks work (send a spoofed packet to a device and have it reflected back (yes please deploy source address validation and BCP 38)."

It is amazing how many people don't secure their servers...

Not sure why anyone would leave memcached open to the world.
