A cyber attack called a "DDoS attack," which sends a large amount of data to bring down the system, was found last month to be the largest ever attack on a European bank. Experts have pointed out that there is a possibility that network equipment may have been illegally accessed and misused, as attacks are being conducted from Japanese lines.
On June 21, a "DDoS attack" was sent that sent a large amount of data to a European bank server, and an information security company analyzed that a large amount of 809 million packets per second were being transmitted. about it.
This is considered to be the largest DDoS attack ever, but there was no damage because the bank system was taking measures.
According to the companies analyzed, the attacks came from networks of several countries, of which 42% came from the US, 10% came from South Korea, 9% came from Vietnam, and 6% came from Japan. It means that the connected webcams and other devices were collectively accessed by some means and used for an attack.
"There are a lot of devices with insufficient security on the network," said Takashi Nemoto, Senior Director of Akamai Technologies. "We need to be prepared for such a large-scale attack in the future."
