Fifteen of the world's biggest "stresser/booter" services, designed to enable users to launch DDoS attacks against sites on demand, have been shut down, and three men who allegedly ran such services have been charged.
Payments company CashFlows delivers all its offerings - including
its latest generation of products in the cardholder-present space
- via the cloud, it cannot afford attacks that make its service
unavailable.
Knowing that DDoS threats aren't going away, CashFlows wanted to
find a reliable,...
Managing sensitive financial information and combatting cyberthreats often means finding efficiencies to do more with less. Modestly staffed IT teams often find themselves overwhelmed and challenged to complete projects that benefit the top line while also improving their cybersecurity maturity and meeting compliance...
To combat cyberattacks, more nations must not only hold nation-state attackers accountable, but also better cooperate by backing each other's attribution, said Estonian politician Marina Kaljurand, who chairs the Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace, in her opening keynote speech at Black Hat Europe 2018.
SOC-as-a-service has rapidly become the preferred approach to detect and respond to advanced threats that bypass your existing controls. This white paper explains why, and underscores the differences between SOC-as-a-service, MDR, MSSP and SIEM.

There is no shortage of security tools in any large government IT environment that are targeting specific cyber threats for a specific outcome. Yet, most agencies lack an always-on, in-line capability that allows them to operationalize their cyber threat intelligence programs. Blocking suspicious connections to...
DDoS attacks against healthcare organizations have increased not only in size and scale, but especially in complexity, says Tom Bienkowski of Netscout Arbor. How can enterprises build upon their traditional DDoS defenses?
HSBC Bank is warning some of its U.S. customers that their personal data was compromised in a breach, although it says it's detected no signs of fraud following the "unauthorized entry." Security experts say the heist has all the hallmarks of a credential-stuffing attack campaign.
Kenneth Schuchman, the alleged author of a supercharged variant of Mirai malware called Satori, has been rearrested for violating his bail conditions. In what may be a coincidence, security researchers say a Satori botnet went dormant following Schuchman's arrest, only to be reawakened later.
One of the co-authors of the devastating Mirai botnet malware has been sentenced to home incarceration and community service, and ordered to pay $8.6 million in restitution, for his role in a series of damaging distributed denial-of-service attacks that disrupted operations at Rutgers University.
Two years after Mirai botnets first appeared, security researchers say telnet-targeting botnets are attempting to compromise internet of things devices by pummeling them with 1,065 different username/password combinations. Some of these attacks are designed to install Linux DDoS malware.
Although DoS attacks are not a recent phenomenon, the methods and resources available to conduct and mask such attacks have dramatically evolved to include distributed (DDoS) and distributed reflector (DRDoS) attacks that cannot be addressed by traditional on-premise solutions.
Cloudflare's advanced DDoS protection...
Not only are we now seeing the most powerful DDoS attacks ever recorded, but they also are leveraging the ever-growing army of IoT devices. Over the last several years, there has been a very clear long-term trend in DDoS attacks. They are increasing in size, frequency and complexity - that's a macro trend.
