Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) published a blog update on October 16, 2020, outlining how threats and threat actors are adapting their strategies in light. Similarly GitHub, was hit with a DDoS attack that clocked in at 1.35 terabits per second and lasted for roughly 20 minutes. According to GitHub, the traffic was traced back to “over a thousand different autonomous systems (ASNs) across tens of thousands of unique endpoints.”
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a cybercrime in which the attacker floods a server with internet traffic to prohibit users from accessing linked online services and websites. It is a brute-force attempt to slow down or fully crash a server. https://portswigger.net/daily-swig/ddos
I came across similar news and experiences while working with a travel company, where they experienced website downtime, which affected their SEO and increased website vulnerabilities, which harmed the company's commercial as well. As a result, they took too long to resolve, where they improved the web-server configuration, relocated all business-critical applications, and disabled any unnecessary or unfamiliar network services.
What are your concerns about DDoS?
Don't let your experiences go unheard, share them if you have any.
