DDoS attacks on DNS and traffic management firm NS1 highlights escalation in attacks against organizations in this space. NS1 CEO Kris Beevers says attackers have targeted NS1’s infrastructure with a degree of determination and sophistication not normally seen in such attacks. The focus has been on specifically impacting our ability to deliver service and to distinguish between good and bad traffic, he says. A bulk of the DDoS streams are being launched from Russia and parts of the former Soviet Union, Beever says.”]
