Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, today shared an analysis of nearly a dozen global DDoS attacks that indicates cyber attackers are using DDoS attacks in an attempt to influence market values and interfere with exchange platforms. The Prolexic Security and Engineering Team (PLXsert) details the findings in a white paper, DDoS Attacks Against Global Markets, which was published today and can be downloaded at www.prolexic.com/ddos-markets.
"Typically, DDoS attacks are launched to fuel public discourse, or for revenge, extortion and blackmail - but that is changing," said Stuart Scholly, president of Prolexic.
