Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced today that it recently mitigated high-volume Layer 3 DDoS attacks directed at BidCactus.com, a popular online auction site. Due to the success of the emergency provisioning, BidCactus has signed a contract with Prolexic for ongoing DDoS detection and DDoS protection.
The DDoS attacks spanned two days and rendered BidCactus.com inaccessible to millions of global bidders for six hours. The site's hosting company recommended Prolexic for DDoS mitigation services after its efforts failed to stop the denial of service attacks.
