Defending Against Ransom DDoS Attacks

DDoS attacks have become an annoyance most companies assume they may have to deal with at some point. While frustrating, minor website disruptions from small-scale hacktivist campaigns rarely create substantial business impacts. However, a particularly insidious DDoS spinoff has emerged over the past decade – one aimed at blackmail. This evolutionary milestone stems from what's called Ransom DDoS (RDDoS), likely one of the most outrageous cybercrime weapons targeting businesses globally since 2015.

AI-Enhanced Cyber Attacks Top the List of Potential Threats Facing Data Security

AI is quickly becoming the basis for more cyber attacks, leading organizations to realize the risk it presents. A new report now shows that AI-enhanced cyber attacks are now the top concern of security leaders. I recently wrote about how prolific ransomware attacks are and what the outcomes were for those experiencing attacks. In the same report - GetApp’s 2024 Data Security report – I also found some interesting data around where AI sits in the list of concerns for cybersecurity leaders.

What is the best paid search intelligence tools

Internet attacks are not uncommon in today's world, as many businesses are built online. User data is stored in a cache and is visible to third parties.
