Attackers have begun to use high-volume DDoS attacks, called HTTP DDoS in Russia, which have caused great damage to businesses and caused great concern for many companies. socialbites.ca was informed about this by the press service of the SotrmWall company.
SotrmWall analysts call HTTP DDoS “super-volume.” The truth is that such attacks can send hundreds of millions of requests per second, which is much more than unprotected applications can handle. In the fourth quarter of last year, HTTP DDoS in Russia accounted for 81% of all DDoS attacks overall.
“These types of attacks have started to be used by cybercriminals fairly recently and are gaining momentum. “Attacks like these cause major business damage and cause great concern for many companies around the world,” the company said.
