Denial of Service attacks began with hackers targeting larger websites for the thrill of hacking. However, now organised crime has set their sights on companies with more to lose in their businesses and reputations, such as online banks, lenders, and service providers.
Organised crime syndicates extort money from online companies by demanding money to keep them from receiving severe Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
If a company does not meet the demands, the attackers bombard the company's systems with constant and overwhelming DDoS attacks from thousands of zombies, placing their eCommerce
businesses into gridlock.
This TippingPoint white paper examines how companies can protect themselves from DoS and DDoS attacks.
