Alarming Changes in DDoS Attacks from 2011 to 2012 | Javamazon
DDoS attacks are becoming more commonplace. When businesses increase reliance on servers and networks, distributed denial of service attacks can cause long-term damage to a business.
When a malicious actor decides to launch a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack, they try to make an entire network inaccessible. The DDoS attack can make anything associated with the server unavailable including websites, voicemail, and more. The objective of the attack is to make the system unavailable or intolerably slow to use.
DDoS attacks have become more intense and destructive with every year that passes. Like the Internet, DDoS attacks evolve with time. The Infographic below, Global DDoS Attack Key Metrics, demonstrates how attacks have changed between 2011 in 2012.
Some of the interesting revelations include:
- How much DDoS attacks increased between 2011 and 2012
- How dramatically average packets per second increased during DDoS attacks between 2011 and 2012
- How bandwidth (average bits per second) of a normal DDoS attack increased by more than 400%.
