ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet

Eine neue DDoS-Attacke schlägt den Rekord, den der Angriff auf Krebs on Security erst vor wenigen Tagen aufgestellt hatte.


Noch vor wenigen Tagen galt der Angriffauf den Sicherheitsblog Krebs on Security als bislang größte DDoS-Attacke. Mit 620 Gigabit pro Sekunde starteten Router, Sicherheitskamera und Geräte aus dem Internet der Dinge Anfragen an den Sicherheitsblog. Google rettete die Seite schließlich mit Project Shield.

Heute wird eine weitere Attacke bekannt, die das Ausmaß des Krebs-on-Security-Angriffs übertrumpft. Das Opfer ist der französische Hoster OVH. Bemerkt wurden die ersten beiden Angriffe mit 1,1 Terabit pro Sekunde und 901 Gigabit pro Sekunde erstmals am 19. September von OVH-Gründer Octave Klaba. Nach einigen Tagen Pause begannen die Angriffe am vergangenen Freitag schließlich erneut in ähnlichem Ausmaß. Laut Klaba habe das ausführende Botnet eine Kapazität von 1,5 Terabit pro Sekunde – Tendenz steigend.

Hosting company OVH has been subject to the biggest attack DDoS known to date, with peaks of over 1 Tbps of traffic.

Over the past week, the company has been subjected to an attack greater than the one suffered by Krebs on Security.

The attack led to company founder and CTO Octave Klaba tweeting, “last days, we got lot of huge DDoS. Here, the list of ‘bigger that 100Gbps' only. You can see the simultaneous DDoS are close to 1Tbps!”

Klaba also shared a screenshot of the multiple attacks on its infrastructure that when added together produced the 1Tbps directed at the company. The biggest single attack was documented at 799Gbps.

Security researchers have been warning for years that poor security for internet of things devices could have serious consequences. We’re now seeing those warnings come true, with botnets made up of compromised IoT devices capable of launching distributed denial-of-service attacks of unprecedented scale.

Octave Klaba, the founder and CTO of French hosting firm OVH, sounded the alarm on Twitter last week when his company was hit with two concurrent DDoS attacks whose combined bandwidth reached almost 1 terabit per second. One of the two attacks peaked at 799Gbps alone, making it the largest ever reported.

According to Klaba, the attack targeted Minecraft servers hosted on OVH’s network, and the source of the junk traffic was a botnet made up of 145,607 hacked digital video recorders and IP cameras.

With the ability to generate traffic of 1Mbps to 30Mbps from every single Internet Protocol (IP) address, this botnet is able to launch DDoS attacks that exceed 1.5Tbps, Klaba warned.
