Krebs Website Hit By 620 Gbps DDoS Attack

[Andra Zaharia]

Someone really, really wants to shut up Brian Krebs, but I'm sure he'll be back soon, even stronger!

His investigations have helped the entire community and I find such intimidation tactics revolting.

It's a compliment of a fiendish kind. He must have been doing them damage.

This is the most interesting part though...

Martin McKeay, Akamai’s senior security advocate, told Krebs: “Seeing that much attack coming from GRE is really unusual. We’ve only started seeing that recently, but seeing it at this volume is very new. Someone has a botnet with capabilities we haven’t seen before.”

Time to put MalwareTech on it!
