DDoS attacks causes huge problems for websites and Internet platforms around the world. The traffic generated by these attacks is increasing, as there are more and more devices that are part of botnet networks, in addition to the fact that the speed of Internet access does not stop growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attack occurred in mid-February of the previous year 2020, which Amazon communicated the existence of it through a report. Which disclose that the arrest of the attack that occurred was carried out by their AWS Shield protection tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are talking about Amazon dealing with an attack that involved 2.3 Tbps of traffic. A particularly high figure not only for the amount itself, but for being much larger than most of the DDoS attacks that occur. Amazon commented on this attack in the latest report from Amazon AWS Shield, the system responsible for monitoring the security of the AWS server infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fact that the servers of large companies receive DDoS attacks is nothing new and in fact they occur continuously. However, never before has such a large one been recorded, in fact it has almost doubled the previous record. DDoS attacks, as we saw at the time, are massive requests, often automated to the same server in order to make it collapse because it is not able to cope with all those requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This attack was really alarming and reveals that cybercriminals do not rest and evolve their forms of cyberattack with the passage of time, that is why you must be prepared for any problem that may arise in the future, whether they are DDos attacks or other nature since if we do not advance with these criminals we will be left behind and it will be more difficult to defend ourselves against these attacks, which cannot happen and that is why there are people dedicated to countering these attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
