It seems that 2016 has been the year of immense DDoS attacks, many coming from Mirai. This seems to be a newcomer though ending the year with a 650Gbps DDoS attack. The Dyn DNS DDoS attack that some speculated reached over 1Tbps was probably the biggest, but this isn’t that far behind and it’s bigger […]

Another DDoS service down after the owner got busted, this time a UK teenager who created the service called Titanium Stresser when he was just 15. Not long ago we wrote about the two Israeli guys who got busted for running the VDoS-s.com DDoS Service. There seems to be a bit of a crack down […]

Last week the Dyn DNS DDoS took out most of the East coast US websites including monsters like Spotify, Twitter, Netflix, Github, Heroku and many more. Hopefully it wasn’t because I shared the Mirai source code and some script kiddies got hold of it and decided to take half of the US websites out. A […]

DDoS or Booter services have been around for a while, but VDoS-s.com was a particularly slick (and shameless) one with a content marketing strategy and active social media accounts. Two Israeli men were arrested for running the service after ironically being hacked by a security researcher. They called their service a ‘Stresser’ and claimed to […]

So the ProtonMail DDoS Attack – if you’re not familiar ProtonMail is an secure, free, encrypted e-mail service that promises absolutely no compromises. It’s been getting hit hard since November 3rd, with a large scale rather sophisticated set of DDoS attacks rendering it unable to receive or send e-mail. It seems to have mitigated the […]

So Rackspace has just recovered from a major DNS DDoS attack which rendered some domains inaccessible for over 11 hours. It seems to have been a fairly frequent occurrence lately with Namecheap also undergoing several attacks against its DNS infrastructure. I got affected again recently on December 18th when they were hit with a massive […]

There’s been a LOT of noise about this incident in the past day or two, the very definition of a cloud nightmare. Git/SVN & Project Management SaaS Code Spaces has been hacked and completely deleted by a hacker. It started off with a large scale DDoS attack (the likes of which Feedly and Evernote have […]
