DDOS EXTORTION CAMPAIGNS ARE ON THE RISE

On-Demand Webinar

DDoS Extortion Campaigns are on the Rise

Link11 and NimbusDDoS explain how the DDoS attackers operate and how cyber extortions affect enterprise IT security.

Extortion by cyber criminals is an acute threat to businesses. The attackers are increasingly using ransom DDoS attacks, in which victims are forced to pay a ransom in order to avoid devastating DDoS attacks on their unprotected infrastructure and thus expensive interruptions in business operations. Attackers, sometimes calling themselves “Armada Collective”, sometimes “Fancy Bear” or currently “Fancy Lazarus”, have been using this approach to attack companies across a variety of industries for several months. With increasing frequency, the Link11 Security Operation Center has had to conduct emergency response operations at companies affected by such Ransom DDoS attacks.

In the pre-recorded webinar, you will learn more about:

• What a DDoS attack is and how such attacks affect a company.
• What the motivation of the attackers are and how an extortion attack works from a technical point of view.
• What the new wave of DDoS extortions by Fancy Lazarus is all about.
• How companies should react in an emergency situation.
• How Link11 & NimbusDDOS can help organizations proactively reduce the risk of DDoS extortion.
