Understanding and Stopping DDoS Attacks

July 24, 2017 By RhinoSupport Leave a Comment

A website devoted to cybersecurity has a feature about DDos – dedicated denial of service – attacks. In this case, the hackers flood the organization’s networks, bringing transactions to a stop. Sometimes they ask for a pay off to resume service. This has happened to banks and hospitals, as well as social media. Some paid the hackers off. The writer notes that one site refused to pay and went after the hackers. The writer states that the best defense is a layered one.

Key Takeaways:

  • A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a cybercrime that affects many companies from social media websites to financial institutions.
  • Hackers attack by disrupting businesses websites and not allowing customers access until they are paid ransom.
