Report: Attacks on ISP Nets Intensifying (Dark Reading)
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are growing more frequent and
more potent according to a survey covered
by Dark Reading. "
Nearly 60 percent of the ISPs in the survey said less than 10 attacks on their infrastructure per month actually affect their customers, and nearly 20 percent say anywhere from 10- to 100 of attacks do. Arbor expects that number to increase as more ISPs offer managed DDOS mitigation services, where ISPs more actively track attacks that affect their customers rather than relying on them to report problems."
