Voxility Mitigates Multiple 1Tbps+ DDoS Attacks in the First Week of September
A massive wave of network layer DDoS attacks reached the Voxility network last week in an attempt to disrupt services
LONDON — Voxility mitigated multiple 1Tbps+ denial of service (DDoS) attacks on customer infrastructure early this month. Its fully integrated anti-DDoS solution was able to protect the network infrastructure from depreciation in service or being taken offline.
The attack waves peaked at 1,035 gigabits per second (Gbps) and 1,044 Gbps on Sept. 3-4, accompanied subsequently by lower intensity attacks of 798 Gbps and 854 Gbps over the weekend. These were made up of a volumetric User Datagram Protocal UDP flood, comprising abnormally large UDP packets, DNS amplification, and UDP packets without payload, in an attempt to overwhelm infrastructure ports with IP traffic.
