France is faced with an "unprecedented" wave of cyber attacks after the recent three-day horror that left 20 dead.
About 19.000 websites have been hit so far by groups including "Islamists hackers"Said the head of the cyber-security agency.
"We have never seen anything like this before. It's the first time a country has faced such a big wave," Admiral Arno Custiger told reporters. He rendered them attacks in "more or less organized groups", among them well-known "Islamist" groups.
Οι επιτιθέμενοι έβαλαν στο στόχαστρο μια ποικιλία δικτυακών τόπων, από στρατιωτικές υπηρεσίες μέχρι πιτσαρίες. Στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις ακολούθησαν την τακτική DoS (άρνηση παροχής υπηρεσιών), στην οποία οι υπολογιστές-στόχοι κατακλύζονται από αιτήματα connections until they are shut down due to overload.
