As a result, more than 100,000 subscribers experienced problems using the Internet, IPTV, multi-screen platform, and digital TV,” said the company.
In total, the complete lack of access to Volia’s services, according to the provider, lasted 12 minutes on May 31, 45 minutes on June 1. There was also an attack on the website volia.com, but it was managed to neutralize.
“DDoS attacks were massive and well-organized. The type of attack is UDP flood and channel capacity overflow with the traffic of more than 200 GB. UDP is a protocol used for online streaming services – streaming, telephony, video conferencing, etc. The attack occurred from tens of thousands of different IP addresses around the world: the United States, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc.”, emphasized the press service of the provider.
According to representatives of the company, attacks of this volume are followed by extortion and other attempts to influence the company. Therefore, Volia appealed to the cyber police with a statement about a massive DDoS attack on the infrastructure.
