Webvision under DoS attack
Incident Report
Date/Time: 26th June 2006 (Monday)
Type of Incident: Abuse – DoS attack
Incidents Description
0905 hrs – 0950 hrs
- NOC detected very high incoming traffic on both of the data center uplinks which is causing intermittent connection to the data center in Cyberjaya. The problem has been classified as an incoming Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack situation.
- Engineers identified the source of the DoS attack is from a hosting provider in New York and the targeted server to be co-located in the data center.
- As the DoS attack originated from a high-speed bandwidth, as at 0951 hrs – 1044 hrs, access-lists (ACLs) implemented on both routers are only able to mitigate the current situation with minimal effect, as the intermittent problem was still there.

Terence, DDoS attack takes quite some skill, you can't cause any damage to any server with more than 1MB bandwidth with simple tools you downloaded from the net.
These attacks are well orchistrated efforts involving thousands of comprimised machines, that's quite some logistical effort.
I'd say they are at least 14 ;)
BTW Title should be DoS not DOS as DOS = Disk Operating System.
12? Dunno I was probably playing with Technix legos!
