Bank of America Web Activities Crippled by DDoS Attack
Bank of America along with at least five other major US banks recently had their website operations disrupted by distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks flooded the targets with traffic which was clocked exceeding 60GB per second by using hundreds of compromised Web servers. A relatively new attack tool known as “itsoknoproblembro” was used on some of the hijacked servers.
