Joint attack on Facebook and Twitter to hit a single user
A type of DoS attack (Denial of Service) was carried out during the day yesterday with Twitter and Facebook, two of the most popular web services and used social networking in recent times.
A type of DoS attack like the one carried out against Twitter and Facebook has the direct and primary goal to make the inaccessible web sites, submerging systems required data, so as to cause knee ’s infrastructure of ‘ whole service. L ‘attack was a ‘ single source and is not random, but has involved multiple services simultaneously.
In the case l ‘attack would have a user object in particular, present on both popular sites: a Georgia blogger, also active on LiveJournal and Youtube as well as the two services mentioned above. A clear attempt or just a threat to silence the user (known by the nickname of Cyxymu, a Georgian city), but the reasons have not yet been clarified.
“It was a simultaneous attack on the various services groped to mute the voice of ‘user “ said Max Kelly, chief security officer of Facebook. “Currently, we are able to discover for l ‘ origine dell ‘ attack and we hope to get to the leaders and then follow the steps for such a gesture “. The spokesperson for the company has not provided information about the possible charge and merely say “We should ask who benefits from such action and to think seriously to the actions of these characters who have shown a clear disdain towards the internet” .
The assumptions that are currently carried out with little foundation, given the paucity of information that exists on this issue. The LiveJournal page of ‘attacked user is obviously been made inaccessible for some time, but through a previous version in the cache of google, you can recover ‘ s message ’s you had written (in Russian) in about the attacks that its website was receiving: “Now it is obvious that a special attack against me and all Georgians”.
What you are sure, according to the statements of Kelly, regards ‘infrastructure used by makers of ‘ action: “People who have coordinated l ‘attack is definitely determined and use a lot of resources”.
