A new study from online security provider Neustar shows that DDoS attacks are up in the United Kingdom, just as they are in the U.S., and they’re targeting everything from e-commerce sites to government sites. Telecommunications companies are the No. 1 target in the UK, with 53 percent reporting attacks. U.K. financial services sector has been the primary DDoS target, according to the survey. North American data is a bit out of date, so the percentage of financial institutions hit by DDoS is probably even higher.”]
