In the past several weeks, Akamai was in a unique position to witness a massively orchestrated attack, designed to map Internet facing web servers that are susceptible to certain specific vulnerabilities.
While various sources on the blogosphere speculated about the scale and nature of these attacks seen on their own infrastructure, Akamai's big data intelligence platform demonstrated the true massive scale and reach of this internet-wide orchestrated attack.
In order to thoroughly analyze this attack and bring you our conclusions and impressions, we extracted attack data on the last 2 weeks (January 5th - January 19th, 2014) from Akamai's jyvyprdj csp skcn ocyfosid (Lgvdj Sndbqhjc Joeydglywrai).
