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.

A Massive Cyberattack Could Soon Be Aimed At Your Online Bank Account | MIT Technology Review | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
Banks around the world are getting ready to face a massive cyber assault. But now that it’s been discovered, it might not happen as expected.
