Excerpts

“Unfortunately, all online organizations and businesses are at risk of becoming targets for DDoS attacks. While some organizations may be more susceptible than others – or may be targeted more heavily at certain times of the year – the bottom line is that there is often no rhyme or reasons for cyber criminals to strike. However, Prolexic has observed a trend toward several motivators in particular for DDoS attacks over the past several years.Another emerging trend is the attack campaign, in which attackers launch a series of attacks of varying vectors, size and characteristics. Automated DDoS mitigation appliances and typical mitigation services provided by ISPs and CDNs are not match for these DDoS campaigns, which require intervention by experienced live DDoS mitigation experts.”
