The Brazilian SYN attacks gave up on me?

I'm risking jinxing myself by mentioning this, but a few days after giving up on blocking the Brazilian SYN attacks [1], they just stopped! It's been at least a week since I've seen them, so whether Brazil gots it act together, some botnet got taken down, or what, it's been quiet.

Now watch … minutes after posting this, the attacks will resume.
