Description

Although cybercriminals continue to use IoT botnet-powered DDoS to great effect, recent months have seen the rise of a completely different and, to date, much more deadly DDoS attack mechanism. This latest innovation from the cybercriminal community sees the commonplace memcached general-purpose caching system being used to deliver DDoS attacks in the multi-terabit per second range. Understand why this new vector requires an always-on approach to DDoS mitigation and what hosting providers can do to avoid being part of the problem
