Organizations face a surge in sophisticated DDoS attacks, and advanced techniques are making traditional defenses obsolete. Neal Quinn, head of cloud security services business, North America, at Radware, discusses how automated solutions and real-time threat intelligence can address these issues.
Navigating the cybersecurity maelstrom. CISOs have faced several challenges recently, including adapting to a global pandemic and the shift to widespread remote working amid significant employee turnover. Thanks to hybrid working as standard and the growing reliance on cloud technology, the attack surface has never...
A new type of denial-of-service threat can disrupt an estimated 300,000 internet hosts that are at risk of exploitation. Researchers at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security say attackers are using IP spoofing to entangle two servers in a perpetual communication loop.
Federal authorities are warning healthcare and public health sector entities of email bomb attacks, a type of denial-of-service attack that can overwhelm email systems and networks and distract victims from other nefarious activities. The incidents can also disrupt clinical and business workflow.
2023 was brimming with DDoS attack activity. Cloudflare automatically detected and mitigated thousands of record-breaking DDoS attacks that came as part of a deliberately engineered DDoS campaign. The campaign included dozens of attacks that exceeded 100 million requests per second.
The largest attack peaked at a...

This week: espionage group exploits a zero-day in Roundcube Webmail, Cloudflare records a surge in HTTP DDoS attacks, ZScaler detects a spike in IoT hacks, the International Criminal Court says its cyber incident was espionage and the Kansas court system still offline.
Attackers have been actively exploiting vulnerabilities in the HTTP/2 protocol via so-called rapid request attacks, which Amazon Web Services, Cloudflare and Google report have led to record-breaking distributed-denial-of-service attacks. Experts recommend immediate patching or mitigation.
Microsoft fixed three zero-days under actively exploitation in its patch dump for the month of October: A disclosure flaw in WordPad that can be exploited to obtain hashed passwords, a bug in Skype for Business and a patch to fix exposure to the Rapid Reset exploit.
Cisco has released urgent fixes to a critical vulnerability affecting an emergency communication system used to track callers' location in real time. A developer inadvertently hard-coded credentials in Cisco Emergency Responder software, opening a permanent backdoor for unauthenticated attackers.
Welcome to "Cyber Fail" - ISMG's roundup of all that's broken in the world of cybersecurity, where our panel of experts uncovers the fails so we can strengthen our defenses. In this episode, ISMG host Anna Delaney takes on bumbling cybercrooks, avoidable breaches and the ethics of paying a ransom.
A recent, brief disruption at Canadian airports is a reminder that Russia-aligned hacking groups' bark remains worse than their bite. Experts say these groups' impact largely remains minimal, which begs the question of how they disrupted arrival kiosks across Canadian airports.
The demand for DDoS-for-hire services has surged significantly in recent years. Cameron Schroeder, chief of the Cyber and Intellectual Property Crimes Section at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said the increase is driven by accessibility, ease of use and the need for only minimal technical proficiency.
DDoS attacks often disrupt the normal functioning of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming it with a flood of traffic. KillNet, a collective of Russian-aligned hacktivists known for its DDoS attacks, gained attention by successfully taking down several U.S. government websites.
Let’s face it — evaluating your DDoS protection can be challenging. But, with a 74% increase in DDoS attacks year-over-year in 2022, it's critical if you want to avoid paying hackers large ransoms and prevent employees from being locked out of critical applications and assets.
Since your DDoS protection must be...
