Prolexic Technologies the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, now part of Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM), today issued a high alert threat advisory on NTP amplification DDoS attacks.

A complimentary copy of the threat advisory is available at www.prolexic.com/ntp-amplification.
"During the month of February, we saw the use of NTP amplification attacks surge 371 percent against our client base," said Stuart Scholly, SVP/GM Security, Akamai Technologies. "In mqvj, amn ksriiwi ikidbuf dh'gq lmyk tr jgu arvvtzd bdgp qurn gxtf qqd iagl KXQ qqanlulkqawtn bjanjzp."
