Cyber Attacks Avoided

Recent DDoS Attacks no match for Voluable

Recent attacks to large VoIP service providers are causing blanket outages to their customers. This is due to the large companies using a cookie-cutter system of treating all of their customers the same, and therefore making their servers vulnerable to attack.

“Cybercriminals have launched several distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against voice over IP (VoIP) service providers in September 2021. Some of the attacks also involve ransomware infections. And the number of DDoS against VoIP providers could increase in the months and years to come, new research says.

Reported DDoS attacks against VoIP providers in September 2021 include:

1. Bandwidth: Bandwidth CEO David Morken on September 28 released a statement regarding a DDoS attack against his company. Morken indicated that cybercriminals targeted Bandwidth and other critical communications service providers as part of a “rolling DDoS attack.” He also noted that Bandwidth is working “around the clock” to minimize the attack’s impact.

2. VoIP.ms: VoIP.ms experienced a DDoS attack on September 16, Bleeping Computer reported. Cybercriminals targeted the company’s DNS name servers and other infrastructure during the attack. In addition, they disrupted the business’ telephony servers and prevented its customers from using them to make phone calls.

3. Voip Unlimited: Cybercriminals demanded a ransom as part of a DDoS attack against Voip Unlimited, according to The Register. Voip Unlimited’s services remained operational during the attack. Meanwhile, the attack may have been launched by REvil hackers.

4. Voipfone: Voipfone experienced outages across its voice, inbound and outbound calls and SMS services due to a DDoS attack, the Register indicated. The company stated the attack began September 28. Voipfone also said it had been hit by “a further DDoS attack” after its initial attack.”
