As one who has recently experienced being spoofed. Yes, I received automated e-mails from legitimate businesses saying my e-mail account sent them a virus blocked by their firewall. Yes, my Norton Anti-virus is running and up to date. And No, I did not send those e-mails.
I can definitely guarantee that if one of those same firms generated a DDoS or any other attack on my system (as one of those responses) I would begin legal proceedings. And I'd win too.
