A peek into the WEDOS Global Protection administration

The first service we will launch on our global WEDOS Global network will be WEDOS Global Protection. It has an important task – to protect all our customers’ websites from various types of attacks and our infrastructure at the same time. Over time, we will make the WEDOS Global Protection administration available to everyone so that they can adjust the protection settings to their liking.

Strongest DDoS attack of 2022 rewrites last year’s record

In recent weeks, cyberspace has been a war zone. Of course, not everything is Russia’s fault. The current chaos is also being exploited by a number of organized groups, so we are seeing more phishing, application layer attacks with extortion, and traditional DDoS attacks. But let’s not forget that Russia demonstrated its new HermeticWiper data-erasing malware early in the war. It quickly spread beyond Ukraine. It can affect you too. So our challenge still stands – back up your data to yourself wherever you have it!

Building WEDOS Global – First infrastructure sites agreed

When the strongest attacks in the history of the Czech Internet came at us in April 2021, which managed to clog all 3 of our 100 Gbps routes for a short time, we understood that the rules were changing. Despite upgrading the hardware of our protections, strengthening our infrastructure and implementing new processes, it was only a matter of time before short attacks of this magnitude became longer or even permanent attacks.

WEDOS stands for Ukraine!

At the very beginning of Russia’s war with Ukraine, we officially and publicly condemned this invasion of Ukraine by Russian armed forces. Instead of a video from our server room, we put a big flying Ukrainian flag on our website. This flag was also put on our Russian website wedos.ru. We have issued statements in Ukrainian colours on various subpages, we have prepared an article Ongoing cyber war may affect you too, get ready for it! and sent it to all our customers by email. We couldn’t stand by and each of us wanted to do something. At least help in some way and show your disapproval.

February night DDoS attacks exceeded 133 Gbps, peaked at 300 Gbps

On the night of 18.02.2022 to 19.02.2022, we experienced the strongest DDoS attacks on our infrastructure since April 2021, when we were hit by probably the strongest attacks in the history of the Czech Internet. Back then, for a brief moment, it managed to clog three 100 Gbps routes. This time it wasn’t so much about power but length, and apart from a few customers, no one noticed the attacks.

Cases of application layer DDoS extortion are beginning to emerge

Extortion by DDoS attack is nothing new. Large botnets can carry out a fairly powerful attack nowadays, which can easily clog several 100 Gbps routes(we have already seen this happen). Fortunately, they are relatively rare because they are expensive. Medium attacks (above 10 Gbps) are encountered more frequently (even several times a month). And smaller ones (under 10 Gbps) are almost a daily occurrence. However, this classical kind of brute force attack (in terms of data volume or packet count) is relatively well detected and filtered. It is worse with application layer attacks, such as those that try to pass themselves off as normal traffic.
