Akamai: We stopped record DDoS attack in Europe
Akamai Technologies squelched the largest-ever distributed denial-of-service attack in Europe earlier this month against a company that was being consistently hammered over a 30-day period.
"The attack, which targeted a swath of customer IP addresses, formed the largest global horizontal attack ever mitigated on the [Akamai] Prolexic platform," Craig Sparling, product manager in the vendor's Cloud Security business unit, wrote in aSparling didn't name the targeted company but said it is an Akamai customer in Eastern Europe. Over a 30-day period, the company came under attack 75 times via multiple vectors.
Traffic from the distributed attack suggested that the cybercriminals"were leveraging a highly-sophisticated, global botnet of compromised devices to orchestrate this campaign," Sparling wrote."No individual scrubbing center handled more than 100Gbps of the overall attack."
