Kaspersky Lab expects more large-scale DDoS attacks
- Holland: Monday, April 01 - 2013 at 08:13
Security firm Kaspersky Lab has warned Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, such as the one that resulted from an altercation between a Dutch company and Spamhaus last week, are on the rise, PC World has reported. The attack affected millions of internet users, slowing hundreds of processes down. "Based on the reported scale of the attack, which was evaluated at 300 Gigabits per second, we can confirm that this is one of the largest DDoS operations to date," said Kaspersky Lab's Global Research and Analysis team. "Such DDoS attack may affect regular users as well, with network slowdown or total unavailability of certain web resources being typical symptoms. There may be further disruptions on a larger scale as the attack escalates."
