A recent Neustar-commissioned survey on DDoS attacks found that 772 of the 1,021 organizations surveyed has experienced at least one such attack during the prior 12 months. A year earlier, only 15% of the victims reported being attacked just once, with 85% attacked multiple times. DDoS attackers are increasingly able to achieve their objectives, even with a single attack. Increasingly, hackers and cyber thieves are using DDoS as diversions to draw security defenses away from other nefarious activities.”]
