A DDoS attack in Europe highlights the need for Internet service providers to implement security best practices, ENISA’s Thomas Haeberlen says. Implementation of a best practice known as BCP 38 could have helped prevent or mitigate the attack, he says. The reason service providers aren’t implementing the best practice is the cost, HAEberlen contends. The Stophaus attack raised the bar of DDoS attacks by about a factor of three, compared to the previous record, he adds. The size of the attack was three times the amount of traffic being sent to disrupt servers.”]
