Banking DDoS Alabama

Many banks have been hit with a wave of banking DDoS in Alabama attacks; they started near the end of 2012. They remain a serious threat today.

The targets of banking DDoS in Alabama are expanding. With these attacks, banks and similar businesses have lost money, and had their online business services interrupted. Although there has been no loss of customer data reported, the attacks have disrupted and inconvenienced their customers' on line services.

Most of the larger banks have prepared themselves for future banking DDoS in Alabama attacks, while there are smaller to medium size businesses that have not protected themselves. Due to the fact that they have fewer resources at their disposal and, as a result, have a harder time defending against banking DDoS attacks, these smaller to medium size businesses need to act swiftly. It is in their interest.

Many security experts feel new banking DDoS in Alabama attacks are most likely motivated by money. Each new attack by cybercriminals has been more advanced than the one before. Too many businesses are still clinging to old defense methods. In this advanced technological age, your business should not leave anything to chance.

The problem with banking DDoS attacks
U.S. banks have been pounded by wave after wave of banking Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that began in late 2012. Banking DDoS attacks increased in volume, frequency, and sophistication in 2013. With each new wave, the Islamic hacktivist group “Cyber Fighters of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam,” shifted their target from major financial institutions to smaller community banks and credit unions, hoping they would be less prepared.

Banking DDoS attacks are evolving
Since the inception of the banking DDoS attacks, the largest banks have become well prepared, but many smaller community banks and credit unions remain vulnerable because they have fewer resources at their disposal and, as a result, have a harder time defending against banking DDoS attacks. With each attack; however, these groups also increase their knowledge about how to make the next assault more effective.

Defending against a banking DDoS attack
Too many organizations still cling to old defense methods, despite having been let down by them during a real banking DDoS attack. Strategies that once worked to defend against banking DDoS attacks, such as a firewall or router designed to handle DDoS attacks, relying on an ISP or a content distribution network (CDN) to soak up the attack, or simply installing an appliance to eliminate or lessen the impact will no longer suffice.
