Look up the hostname so you can get the IP. Add the cidr block to your firewall in case it's a datacenter that's been compromised. Most datacenters today don't do squat about compromised servers, they just want the money.

Add its IP address to the ip-silent.can filter file.

That'll shut it up 8-)

Thanks to all who answered. I had already put it in ip.can file before I even posted, but it still kept sshowing up.... for 48 hours. It finally ended Yesterday around 6pm, so it is all good now.
