DDOS ATTACK TOOL ONLINE OFFLINE

For as little as в‚¬6, miscreants can knock a target offline for 100 seconds. Lizard Squad, the вЂhackingвЂ™ group claiming responsibility for attacks on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, has just released an inexpensive DDoS attacking tool. In the last few months, we have seen a tremendous increase in the number of DDoS attacks and I expect 2015 will be even worse. Nordea confirmed that it was victim of a DDoS attack, and has called in police to investigate. The Finnish branch of Nordea Bank and the Danish Danske Bank have also suffered from online disruptions of late. OP was not the only target in recent DDoS attacks. Customers abroad may still have difficulties in logging in to OPвЂ™s online services.вЂќДЄs of 5 January, the attack was still ongoing but it is believed to have stopped now.

Nevertheless, further disruptions are possible as the corrective measures are still ongoing and the security level of data traffic has been raised for the time being. The services started to function again at times and were completely restored and available to customers after midnight. вЂњThe disruption was detected at about 16.30 on New YearвЂ™s Eve. There were also some difficulties in card payments. During the disruption, online services were not available and cash withdrawals could not be made from ATMs. The attack flooded OPвЂ™s data communications systems and prevented customersвЂ™ banking.

The disruptions were caused by a denial-of-services attack. вЂњOPвЂ™s services experienced some problems on New YearвЂ™s Eve due to data communications disruptions. The bank released a statement on the second day of the attack: A DDoS attack left the bankвЂ™s online services and ATMs unusable by some of its customers.

Finnish bank OP Pohjola Group hasnвЂ™t had the brightest start to 2015.
