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.
