Biggest DDoS attack in history: 620Gbps

KrebsOnSecurity was the target of the largest distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack ever seen by Akamai.

Wait a minute:

The attack was mitigated by Akamai, which provides KrebsOnSecurity with protection against these attacks.

Further down:

Akamai kicked the website off its network. This immediately took the news site offline.

“I can’t really fault Akamai for their decision. I likely cost them a ton of money today.

So then they did not mitigate the attack at all they simply dropped their client.

You must be a Reporter or NPO.

Unfortunately the owners of those IoT things will be like DILLIGAF as the DDoS did not target them, they will not feel the necessity of upgrading/patching their devices to mitigate DDoS attacks from IoT things.
