CloudFlare warns of another massive botnet, er, flaring up
CloudFlare has warned of another massive botnet that appears to be ramping up and targeting the US West Coast.
In a blog post, the content delivery network said it has been watching a flood of attack traffic that started two weeks ago and appears to have been coming from one person testing out its abilities before moving it to 24-hour management.
The news of another botnet that may equal or surpass the Mirai botnet comes as a report from the White House's special cybersecurity commission delivered its recommendations to the president, in which it highlighted the issues and called for more action on mitigating and eliminating such threats.
