“Distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) protection solutions provider NSFOCUS has published its mid-year DDOS Threat Report for 2013. The company’s anti-DDOS analysts have observed 168,459 incidents and determined that, on average, 1.29 DDOS attacks are launched worldwide every two minutes. Another interesting observation made by NSFOCUS is the fact that the media mostly focuses on DDOS attacks launched by hacktivists, despite the fact that most operations are launched by profit-driven cybercriminals.”
