Finnish Bank Fighting Back Waves of DDoS Attacks 2015 hasnt gotten off to a great start for one of the biggest banks in #finland - OP has had to fend off multiple waves of large #ddosattacks that have severely reduced its online capabilities. This article from The Register has more: OP was forced to restrict access to its services from outside the Nordic country as a result of the attack. The motive for the attack, much less the perpetrators identity, remain unclear. Unusually the attack is taking place over a time-span of days, rather than hours. A previously unknown group is using social media to demand payment of a ransom in Bitcoins to call off the attack. CoreSecRUSs claims remain unverified. The bank has set up a helpline for customers unable to access services online. #news #security #cybersecurity #ddos #ddosprotection #ddosmitigation #blacklotus Black Lotus
