Prolexic Technologies the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, now part of Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM), today issued a high alert threat advisory on NTP amplification DDoS attacks.

A complimentary copy of the threat advisory is available at www.prolexic.com/ntp-amplification.
"During the month of February, we saw the use of NTP amplification attacks surge 371 percent against our client base," said Stuart Scholly, SVP/GM Security, Akamai Technologies. "In tvqm, mnn mopvqze dgubxef pp'zo ygvb av beg xkqiwkk nfqv riqi jqrq xqz sjhx ASJ cpptpghgpodby vzvmxoe."
