Major Online Stock Broker Turns to Verizon Business to Help Stop a Potentially Devastating DDoS Attack
Overview Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are often the weapon of choice for would-be criminals who target Internet sites. And, as a major online stock broker found out, the threat of a DDoS attack can be the perfect tool for extortion. For some time, a major online stock broker had been experiencing small DDoS attacks on a somewhat regular basis, but the disruptions to that point had been minimal. In an ominous development, the attacks suddenly became far more sophisticated in design and scale. Soon a notice arrived, demanding that a substantial monetary payment be made in order to stop the crippling attacks. Verizon Business immediately implemented its DoS Defense product to address the online broker's problems.
