Kaspersky Lab experts noticed an overall decline in the number of DDoS attacks in the third quarter of 2018, which may be due to many bot owners reallocating the computing power of their bots to a more profitable and relatively safe way of making money: cryptocurrency mining.
Despite this, there’s still a risk of DDoS attacks causing disruption, where attackers not seeking financial gain. The Kaspersky Lab DDoS Q4 report marked a continued trend in attacks aimed at educational organizations, as they open their doors after a long summer and students head back to school.
Attackers were most active during the third quarter in August and September, proven by the number of DDoS attacks on educational institutions increasing sharply at the start of the academic year. This year, the most prominent attacks hit the websites of one of the UK’s leading universities – the University of Edinburgh – and the US vendor Infinite Campus, which supports the parent portal for numerous city public schools.
