DDoS Attacks Falling as Cyber Defenses Increase Some of our most recent research findings in the world of #ddos and #ddosattacks are featured today over at BetaNews The entire article is linked below, but here are a few key takeaways from our findings: There were 201,721 incidents in the third quarter of this year (down from 462,621 in Q1 2014 and 276,447 in Q2). This can be attributed to the #security industrys increased knowledge and filtering against NTP DrDoS types of attacks, as well as more proactive activity to stop malicious attacks before or as soon as theyre detected. Whilst most still come from China, the US and Russia, DDoS attacks are increasingly originating from Vietnam, India and Indonesia. These countries have a large number of compromised mobile end point devices which makes them prime sources of newly created botnets. Its a bit of good news for the #cybersecurity industry at large, but as we all know - it wont be long until #hackers and cyber criminals are finding new, sophisticated attack methods. #news #ddosprotection #ddosmitigation #cybercrime #blacklotus Black Lotus
