ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet

The threat of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks has increased as hackers exploit new technologies including the Internet of Things (IoT).

"We experience the worst case scenario every year," said Dale Drew, chief security officer at tier-one network provider Level 3 Communications.

"Attack traffic becomes more sophisticated and brings to bear more bandwidth consumption than we have ever seen in years past. As such, we know the threats will only grow and morph."

Indeed new records are now being set on an almost daily basis. Level 3 stopped a 400Gbps attack last year, while just last week an attack on the security blog KrebsOnSecurity peaked at 620Gbps.

Proprietor Brian Krebs believes that the attack, which took down his website before being stopped using Google's Project Shield, may have been the result of his exposure of two Israelis who ran a business that sold subscriptions to a DDoS attack platform for $20 to $200 per month.
