Security Internet Sees Its Biggest DDoS Attack at 1.7Tbps (These Headlines Will Keep Coming ) Author Photo By Rafia Shaikh 3 hours ago 13Shares Share Tweet Submit ddos memcached
If we thought GitHub surviving the biggest recorded DDoS attack would be the end of it, we were clearly wrong. Last weeks DDoS attack is now a history as DDoS mitigation firms are reporting an even bigger attack. Memcached distributed denial-of-service attacks are getting more disturbing by the day, as new attacks are now in the terabit territory.
Just a week after GitHub was temporarily knocked down by the then worlds largest recorded DDoS attack, an unnamed US internet service provider has been hit with an even a bigger attack using the same technique that exploited memcached servers.

Youtube seems to be getting impacted !
Bkmrk.
Store you data in The Cloud!...........................yeah, riiiiight..................
There is no transport technology, even in the internet backbone, that reaches 1tbs.
The Backbone is multiple 40gbs trunks, meshed.
1tbs to a single target is just not possible.
bkmk
The first "D" in DDoS means what?
the intentional paralyzing of a computer network by flooding it with data sent simultaneously from many individual computer
Keep this in mind for any companies who want to manage their data “in the cloud”
I would never even think about doing that.
Mueller would look into it but he sees no collusion related to Trump. 8>)
I just had to reboot my Internet connection like 15 minutes ago. Don’t know if it’s related.
Rhetorical question?
Sounds like they are talking aggregate of all traffic across their network and not just one data center. These memcache servers are hosted on their isp’s own network at times.
It’s starting to be you don’t have a choice. Microsoft is forcing their customers big/small to Azure and Office365. Apple is doing the same.
Office 365 includes licenses to download the Office programs. You don't have to use any of the cloud features if you don't want to. But there's a ton of useful stuff in there.
The net is dragging today.
OpenOffice gives you 90% of what Microsoft office gives you, for free.
Any way to get the ‘notes’ under that map? I use to have that, now I just get the attack map.
