Conflict in Gaza makes shooting DDoS attacks against Israel

A new study by Arbor Networks establishes an interesting parallel between geopolitics and DDoS attacks. Based on the analysis to the current dispute between Israel and Hamas, the software company concluded that DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service attack or distributed denial of service) to Israel were growing in direct proportion to the scale of the conflict.


So, in June, the average duration of the attacks was 20 minutes, and this value rose to 1:0 and 39 minutes in July. In addition, in the first week of last month had been recorded between 30 and 150 attacks per day, but on 21 July that figure peaked at 429. Namely, according to the data from Arbor Networks, DDoS attacks have increased in number, volume and duration, coinciding with the increase in violence in the conflict.

Another proof: the interruption of talks for a cease-fire verified on 3 August resulted in the largest DDoS attack in size-29 Gbps.
