DDoS attack threat cannot be ignored

February 29th 2016

One of the largest DDos(Distributed Denial of Service) Attack took place in 2015 with the power of 500gbps. To put this into context that is over 5 times the bandwidth of the whole of Lancaster University!

I do agree with this article in that there must be two parts to this. Enterprises must have a backup incase their backend servers go down but being a DDOS as opposed to a DOS, why are the numbers of computers/networks getting compromised and their bandwidth hijacked? This is very interesting.
