« Apache snubs Microsoft | Main | PuTTY SSH client vulnerability » November 04, 2004Protx DDoS attackProtx is now the latest online merchant to be hit by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The company servers were apparently hit first on October 31st 2004, but service has still not been properly returned as the attacks have been stepped up. According to Mat Peck, Chief Technical Officer: "The parties responsible for the Distributed Denial of Service attack on our systems [have] stepped up their assault, this time pushing our systems beyond their capacity to cope. A large number of compromised machines from a wide range of spoofed IP addresses have been attacking our site in a varied and well structured manner. We have been working all day with Globix, our ISP, to implement a specific DDoS solution which can burst up to 1Gb connectivity during periods of peak load whilst also analysing and killing traffic generated by zombie machine on the Net." It is only weeks since online processing WorldPay suffered a continued DDoS attack on its servers.
