Latest DDoS Attacks on Banks: A Teachable Moment.
The cyberattacks that occurred against American during this past week provided some teachable moments:
1) The banks learned that could configure their IT infrastructures against the malware attacks that they expected.
2) The same infrastructures were not effective against DDoS attacks
3) Their Internet Service Providers need to prepare their own infrastructures to help guard against being overwhelmed by DDoS attacks.
(Gonsalves, A., 2012)
Comments:
The first point was especially reassuring because the banks had feared attacks against customer accounts.
