Ken Baylor from the NSS labs wrote an interesting article about the recent attacks on the banks: “The DDoS attacks that are temporarily wiping US banks off the Internet are very different than anything we have seen before. Rather than being a temporary annoyance, they are likely the precursor for much bigger things.
Last year’s DDoS attacks emanated from so-called “hacktivist” groups like LulzSec and Anonymous.

The tools to be used by Muslims outraged by the YouTube “Innocence of Muslims” video included some new ones, including the High Orbit Ion Cannon (HOIC) from Anonymous. The world prepared to yawn as this unknown hacktivist group threw digital stones at some of the world best fortified banks. Then something strange happened: David fired and Goliath went down. Hard.” Ken explains the how and why:
