In October, we mainly tuned the content caching. We have made great progress, especially with WordPress sites. We can return any static content in thousandths of seconds after receiving a request from the user, while checking if it is up-to-date in units of seconds up to 60 seconds (depending on the tariff). The average site on WEDOS Global Protection has increased in speed by approximately 48%.

During October, we completed all the necessary preparations for the launch of the next point, this time in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

On Monday 23. October we experienced the most extensive attack on WordPress installations. The “Indonesian botnet” has fully awakened and started massively attacking the files of xmlrpc.php. Although the attack tried to look inconspicuous, the result was truly massive.
In September, we also saw an increase in the number of attacks compared to the holiday months. In today’s report we will look at the “stronger” DDoS attacks on L3/L4 and probably the strongest L7 DDoS attack so far in terms of number of requests per minute. Of course, we will also discuss the building of WEDOS Global Protection and what we are currently working on.
