These political sites should rehearse this scenario because from here on out it should be common. Their incident response should include not just IT folks but the legal, PR, and all the other departments that help insure business continuity."
NATO websites hit by DDoS attack
Commenting on news that the NATO website was hit by DDoS attacks over the weekend, Lancope CTO Tim 'TK' Keanini writes:
"Clearly from the information released so far, this attack was politically based. In these cases, reporting is easy since the perpetrator wants to be known and the reasons for the attack proclaimed at the time of the event. Compare this to other profiles like cyber-criminals who don’t want to be known, hide in the shadows, and launch DDoS for a diversion while they perform their objective of data theft.
