Matt Dusk sings Sinatra in Halifax/PEI/Moncton | SaltWireWASHINGTON - Internet companies Google, Amazon and Cloudflare say they have weathered the internet's largest-known denial of service attack and are sounding the alarm over a new technique they warn could easily cause widespread disruption.
Internet protection company Cloudflare Inc said the attack was"three times larger than any previous attack we've observed." Amazon.com Inc's web services division also confirmed being targeted by"a new type of distributed denial of service event." As the online world has developed, so too has the power of denial of service operations, some of which can generate millions of bogus requests per second. The recent attacks measured by Google, Cloudflare and Amazon - which began in late August and which the tech giants say are ongoing - were capable of generating hundreds of millions of request per second.
