Latest DDOS Attacks on US Banks Not as Disruptive as the First Ones

JB

Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters are determined to continue their campaign until their demands are met. However, despite the fact that they've been targeting a larger number of financial institutions in the second phase of their operations, the attacks don't seem to be as disruptive as the ones from the first phase.

Avivah Litan of Gartner told BankInfo Security that most of the IT teams employed by banks have made considerable adjustments to ensure that their systems have a better chance at handling the attacks.

“These adjustments are definitely helping for now. The fraud teams are also tightening defenses, so more is automated and independent of staff attention, which is diverted during these attacks,” she explained.
