Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, today announced that the company mitigated the largest DDoS attack event in 2011 in terms of packets-per-second (PPS) volume. The attack target was a large Asian customer and its DNS service provider and it occurred between November 5 and November 12, 2011. Prolexic cautions organizations with an online presence that this magnitude of attack is confirmation of the trend toward DDoS attacks of escalating size and complexity as documented in Prolexic's Q3 2011 attack mitigation report which can be accessed at http://www.prolexic.com/attackreports.
