ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet

IoT botnets have transformed the threat landscape, resulting in a big increase in the size of DDoS attacks from 500Gbps in 2015 up to 800Gbps last year.

Hackers have been able to "weaponise" digital video recorders, webcams and other IoT devices due to inherent security vulnerabilities, according to the DDoS mitigation firm Arbor Networks.

The release of the Mirai botnet source code has enabled the launch of extremely large attacks, such as the high-profile assault on DNS provider Dyn in October that rendered numerous well-known websites inaccessible for hours on end. The massive growth in DDoS capabilities has been driven by increased attack activity on all reflection/amplification protocols. DDoS barrages are not only getting bigger but are also becoming more frequent and complex, with multi-vector attacks becoming increasingly commonplace.
