How we “slept through” the most powerful DDoS attack ever launched against us and nobody noticed

Just a week ago, I bragged on social media how we were hit by another major DDoS attack after a long time (traffic was up to 32 Gbps with 5-minute averages). Well, we almost missed the record holder. Or rather, they overslept because we didn’t even notice.

WEDOS activates pandemic plan and goes into online remote mode

When we addressed the pandemic plan for our company’s operations last month, we treated it more like a paper test to see how ready we were to go fully online. We took it with exaggeration and a certain amount of humour.

Last week we also had an ISO certification and it was discussed there as well, we wanted to know how well prepared we were and what to improve.

Data centre WEDOS 3 “kravín” – first virtual view

So far, 2020 is a very action-packed year for us. Several services are close to completion(WMS, WEDOS Cloud), others are being prepared for beta tests or are already being tested (WEDOS CD, WEDOS WebSite). It’s a good thing we recruited 5 new colleagues last year and will be adding more in February 🙂 However, we also moved forward with our third datacenter project. Since it will have sloping roofs and be in the countryside, we call it a “cowshed” 🙂
