Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, today released a threat advisory for the High Orbit Ion Cannon (HOIC), an increasingly popular attack tool that can target up to 256 web addresses simultaneously. As a public service, full details of the HOIC threat, including recommended protection strategies, are available at www.prolexic.com/threatadvisories.
"A DDoS attack can come from anywhere, anytime. It can be an act of revenge for a real or perceived slight, a political statement or completely random. No business is immune to becoming a target," said Paul Sop, chief technology officer at Prolexic.
