ICANN weighs in on how to respond to DDoS attacks
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has weighed in on what organisations should do if they find themselves under a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
Its senior security technologist Dave Piscitello has prepared a basic primer for what the organisation thinks victims should do if they experience an attack, writing up his recommendations on the organisation's blog.
Piscitello recommends that organisations contact their national law enforcement agency if they believe a crime is being committed, but emphasised that organisations should not expect them to be able to mitigate an attack.
