Millions of computers around the world are controlled by cybercriminals. These computers have been infected with software robots, or “bots”, that automatically connect to command and control servers. The command and control servers then instruct the bots to carry out illicit activity, such as performing denial of service attacks, or harvesting application content. Building these networks of bots, or botnets, has become a lucrative business for botnet operators, who rent out their bots to the highest bidder.
One of the most dangerous botnet threats is the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Harnessing the aggregate power of thousands or tens of thousands of bots, DDoS attack can inflict tremendous damage on Websites, slowing down or even completely disabling them. And DDoS attacks are not isolated, but a regular issue for many organizations. According to recent survey of IT decision makers, 74% reported suffering one or more DDoS attacks in the past 12 months. Of these, 31% said that the attacks disrupted service.Whether the motivation is political, financial or just random, DDoS attacks can be extraordinarily costly for the targeted organizations.
