Tim Kannegieter Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 There a numerous media reports circulating about a denial of service attack, launched from up to 1 million IOT devices, that was so large it apparently overwhelmed the security company charged with defending the site. Use a search engine with keywords Akamai and denial of service and you will find the details. Note, we cant provide direct links as this breaches copyright. Akamai has nothing on its website, so the media reports at this stage are allegations only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
