Especially when we are so much reliant on the internet. In the last several weeks the internet has experienced the most significant DDoS attacks. But who performed these attacks? Is it a nation state? Is it an anonymous organization? The answer: it depends. It is hard to say who is responsible for this kind of attack as it is based on open source software running on 17K+ servers worldwide.
But can we be more responsible for the infrastructures we own? So why can’t Fortune 500 companies do the same? Especially when they are large cloud vendors. This is a good question. In recent publication dubbed memcrashed, hackers have exploited memcashed servers to deliver amplification ddos attacks. The largest attack in history.A recent pastebin post pointed at 17K+ vulnerable servers. So how it relates to Fortune 500 companies?
