A ten – or twenty customers, Ziggo is under attack of ddos’ers, allowing a greater number of customers suffered problems with the internet browsing and call. The ddos’ers are already a few days busy, but the attacks since Friday morning, more passionately.
Several customers are complaining on Twitter about problems with a business internet connection from Ziggo. According to Ziggo spokesman Gradus Vos is the result of a ddos attack on a small number of customers, that also has consequences for other customers. “As a result of the attack runs on some systems the memory is full,” said Fox. “Therefore, connections are delayed and we have other customers will suffer.”
The attack, according to Fox place on ten to twenty Ziggo customers. “The attack is very specific on who is customers focused,” says Fox. For some companies it is that now has become the target, he does not indicate. We want Fox to say that the attack is being carried out from ip addresses from all over the world, what the capture of the attack makes it harder. “And you can’t have infinite capacity to listen,” says Fox.
How many customers exactly will suffer from the attack, it is not entirely clear, but Fox estimates that approximately fifteen hundred customers. That customers experience been a few days occasionally problems, but since Friday morning the attack is severe and the problems are thus also exacerbated. “Yes, they have internet, but the connections are slow,” said the spokesman. Telephony therefore works worse: phone calls go across the ip network.
