Akamai Technologies report shows that the number of DDoS attacks is on the rise. During the second quarter of 2015 it increased by 7 percent compared to the previous three months. The company saw 12 attacks that exceeded 100Gbps and five that peaked at more than 50 million packets per second. DDoS reflection is a technique where attackers send requests with a spoofed source IP (Internet Protocol) address to third-party computers, causing them to send responses to that address instead of the original sender. Most of the exploited devices are consumer ones and not servers.”]
