With the rapid development of the Internet industry today, the importance of various industries on DDoS protection is also increasing. As an attack method with a "long history", DDoS is accompanied by the development of the Internet, leaving people with only nightmares and the infamy of "Internet thugs". The victims are not only game companies, but also many industries.
"The game can't go up again", "Always stuck on the login interface", "Payment is stuck again"... Along with complaints, the well-known game company Electronic Arts (EA) posted on social media on April 15 It was announced on the previous page that due to a DDoS attack, many of its games could not be logged in. After 2 hours of emergency maintenance, the gaming giant, which had nearly $5 billion in revenue last year, allowed the server to return to normal. The company suffered from the infamous DDoS attack in the game industry and the Internet as a whole.
According to statistics, in addition to game companies, government websites, corporate service websites, and even financial companies have long been the preferred targets of DDoS attacks. Without measures to protect against DDoS attacks, online games cannot be logged in normally, and online payments cannot even be traded when they are under attack. If the attack continues for many years, it will make the user experience worse and turn to seek services from other providers, which will affect the direct interests of online game companies or Internet service providers.
DDoS attacks are one of the most common network attack methods. The full name is Distributed Denial of Service (Distributed Denial of Service) attack. The attacker launches an attack on the target server by manipulating multiple computers in different areas. The purpose is to force the other party's network or system resources to be exhausted and be forced to suspend the service, resulting in normal users. Inaccessible.
To use a popular analogy, the server is like a restaurant. The attacker called 50 people to occupy all the tables but did not order food. Instead, the waiter brought tea and water, which caused the restaurant to fail to operate normally. DDoS attacks often last for days or even weeks, and the damage can be imagined.
According to the released "DDoS Threat Report 2019", in 2019, the situation of DDoS attacks is still severe, and the proportion of DDoS attacks in emerging hot industries such as live broadcasting and e-commerce has also increased significantly. In terms of peak attacks, since the industry discovered a peak of 1.94 Tbps in 2018, it is no longer an accident that DDoS attacks enter the TB level. At the same time, overseas attacks accounted for 15%, almost doubled from 8% in 2018.
In the face of DDoS attacks, choosing a high-defense DDoS service is the most correct choice. The mainstream high-defense services on the market can be divided into two types: 1. The high-defense CDN is equipped with a DDoS protection function on the basis of CDN. The widely distributed high-defense CDN nodes and the intelligent redundancy mechanism between nodes can effectively prevent hackers from intruding and reduce the impact of various DDoS attacks on the website, while ensuring better service quality. 2. High-defense IP is mainly to hide the source site IP as a substitute, filter and clean malicious attack traffic, and then forward normal access requests to the source site IP through port protocol forwarding. This is to ensure that the source site IP is not affected, and that it can operate and access normally and stably.
In recent years, with the increasing awareness of network security, a good protection against DDoS can greatly reduce losses. It is impossible to completely eliminate DDoS attacks. Under the current circumstances, the cost of an attacker to launch an attack is always less than the cost of a defender against attacks of the same level. Enterprises need to resist fierce attacks. It is not enough to rely on a single type of equipment. It is the right choice to do as many protection methods as possible.
