According to online security experts, a recent cyber attack has caused web users around the world to experience relatively slow internet connectivity. Experts say this is the largest such attack in history. According to the New York Times, the conflict erupted when a conflict broke out between anti-spam non-profit organization SpamHous and Dutch web hosting company CyberBunker.
Spamhos, a London and Geneva-based spam filtering group, temporarily blacklisted the Dutch hosting firm as an email spammer. The angry cyberbank users retaliated by launching a "Distributed Denial of Service or D-DOS" attack. Several major Internet networks and exchange points (for example, the London Internet Exchange) were disrupted. The incident also affected the global structure and domain name system of SpamHous, which has been running for almost a week since March 19. At one point the D-DOS attack started at 300 billion bits / second, which is by far the largest record in the world.
Cyberbank only serves all types of organizations / initiatives except child pornography and involvement in terrorist activities. A spokesman for the organization claimed in a statement that "spamhouses are abusing their position." They should not be allowed to decide on the Internet what to do or not to do. '
Meanwhile, Spamhos has alleged that there is a link between Cyberbanker and terrorist groups.
In an interview with the New York Times, Patrick Gilmore, chief architect of a digital content firm, described the cyberbank company as "really crazy." Frankly, they've been caught. They think they should be allowed to spam. "
Cloudflair, an Internet security company based in Silicon Valley, was the first to report the attack. The organization eventually attacked itself in an attempt to prevent a cyber attack. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince likened the attack to "nuclear bombing."
