According to recent reports (theatlasnews.co/breakingnews…) sea cables were cut, resulting in significant degrading of internet capabilities. NETSCOUT observed nearly a 50% reduction in internet traffic towards selected nations in #Africa on March 14.
DNS DDoS attacks have had a huge increase in the recent months with attackers using well-known public DNS recursive services to funnel their attacks.
We just published a new Blog on this topic, see netscout.com/blog/asert/the-… #DDoS @NETSCOUT
