For communications service providers (CSPs), relying on legacy solutions to provide what is known as ‘cleanpipe’ service to customers is far from enough.

Last year, the FBI cracked down on the world’s 15 biggest DDoS-for-hire websites, known as “booters”, which are believed to have mounted more than 200,000 attacks since 2014.

In Q4 2018, 50% more ASNs suffered from a new type of stealthy network attacks carried out in a piecemeal fashion.

In the third quarter we identified a new, sneaky tactic whereby attackers contaminated a diverse pool of IP addresses across hundreds of IP prefixes with small-sized junk traffic.

Among all DDoS attacks, amplification attacks are the ones bringing about the most considerable impact on cloud users.

More politically-motivated attacks have happened in the governments and the public sector globally. Click here to read our blog to learn more now!

A vulnerability known as “SegmentSmack” was recently discovered in Linux kernels of versions 4.9 or later. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by remotely sending specially crafted TCP packets to prompt resource-intensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() via open ports, causing CPU saturation and ultimately achieving a denial-of-service (DoS) effect.
