A new reflection/amplification distributed denial of service (DDoS) vector with a record-breaking potential amplification ratio of 4,294,967,296:1 has been abused by attackers in the wild to launch multiple high-impact DDoS attacks.
IsaacWiper and HermeticWizard: New wiper and worm targeting Ukraine
ESET researchers uncover IsaacWiper, a new wiper that attacks Ukrainian organizations and HermeticWizard, a worm spreading HermeticWiper in local networks.
Over 18.8 million IPs vulnerable to Middlebox TCP reflection DDoS attacks
We recently began scanning for middlebox devices that are vulnerable to Middlebox TCP reflection, which can be abused for DDoS amplification attacks. Our results are now shared daily, filtered for your network or constituency in the new Vulnerable DDoS Middlebox report. We uncover over 18,800,000 IPv4 addresses responding to our Middlebox probes. In some cases the amplification rates can exceed 10,000!
