Domain Name System (DNS)-related distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are on the rise because hacktivists and cyberterrorists are finding it easy to use botnets to stage large volumetric reflection and amplification of queries DDoS attacks to overwhelm servers.
When these attacks succeed, Internet services are not available—as we saw on New Year’s Eve 2015, whenBBC.com experienced a large-scale DDoS attack. Whether the target is an enterprise, organization, or hosted services provider, a DDoS attack frustrates users and customers, and often results in lost revenue and brand equity. Plus, during the chaos of DDoS attacks, hackers can easily capture users’ credentials, credit card info, and passwords for illicit use.
