More than ever, modern life and international commerce depend upon a functioning and accessible Internet. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/solutions\/collateral\/executive-perspectives\/annual-internet-report\/white-paper-c11-741490.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cisco<\/a>, 66% of the global population will have access to it within two years, by which time there will be 5.3 billion total Internet users. Further, more than 70% of the global population will have mobile connectivity, and the number of devices connected to IP networks will be three times greater than the total number of people on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, cyber incidents and attacks are flourishing, but they&#8217;re nothing compared to what will happen as the majority of the world joins the digital mainstream. And since ISPs and hosting providers are at the leading edge of the digital tidal wave, it&#8217;s no surprise that they&#8217;ve become prime targets for cybercriminals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attacks Are More Costly to Combat<br \/><\/strong>For organizations, building cyber resilience is growing more complex and costly. Accenture&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/t00010101t000000z__w__\/nz-en\/_acnmedia\/pdf-96\/accenture-2019-cost-of-cybercrime-study-final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">9th Annual Costs of Cybercrime Study<\/a>&#8221; reports that malware, Web-based attacks, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are the most expensive attack types and are &#8220;the main contributing factors to revenue loss.&#8221; But some sectors are victimized more often than others. For ISPs or hosting providers \u2014 and e-commerce, online gaming, and gambling \u2014 uptime is paramount, and every minute of downtime equals money lost. In 2020, a quarter of enterprise respondents reported the average hourly cost of server downtime ran between $301,000 and $400,000, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/753938\/worldwide-enterprise-server-hourly-downtime-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">highlighted on Statista<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Botnets on the Warpath<br \/><\/strong>The root cause of these financial setbacks are cybercriminals who use every means at their disposal \u2014 or &#8220;carpet bombing&#8221; \u2014 to exploit network vulnerabilities to cause havoc, extort money, or both. Carpet bombing is an example of an attack type that is becoming ubiquitous due to the easy availability of cheap DDoS services on the Dark Web. Almost anyone can pay for a botnet to seriously disrupt the company or government agency of their choice. The rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) might also explain the rise in carpet bombing, since most devices are poorly protected against hostile takeovers and easily converted into bots.<\/p>\n<p>ISPs and hosting providers are like red flags to carpet bombers. Some lack basic DDoS mitigation tools, while others use outdated ones. The results are predictable. In November 2018, customers of the Cambodian ISPs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cambodias-isps-hit-by-some-of-the-biggest-ddos-attacks-in-the-countrys-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EZECOM, SINET, Telcotech, and Digi<\/a> suffered a week of intermittent connections caused by a 150 Gbit\/s DDoS attack. A few months later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/carpet-bombing-ddos-attack-takes-down-south-african-isp-for-an-entire-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a series of carpet-bombing DDoS attacks<\/a> crippled a South African ISP for an entire day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extortion on the Rise<br \/><\/strong>Since mid-2020, a new type of extortion campaign has moved into the spotlight. Cybercriminals claiming to be part of the nation-state-backed groups Fancy Bear, Lazarus Group, and the Armada Collective delivered ransom demands in emails that threatened the recipients with DDoS attacks of up to 2 Tbit\/s unless they made a 20-Bitcoin payment within a week. Many organizations ignored the emailed threats without consequence. Others \u2014 including some well-known ones \u2014 suffered substantial operational setbacks as a result of subsequent attacks, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/7070798-FLASH-MU-000132-DD.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported by the FBI<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI attributed previous extortion campaigns in 2017 and 2019 to the same cybercrime groups, which at that time targeted financial institutions, retailers, and e-commerce firms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attacks Growing Exponentially<br \/><\/strong>But carpet bombing isn&#8217;t the only cyber threat out there. There are scores of others, and they&#8217;re increasing in number and frequency so quickly that it&#8217;s becoming increasingly difficult to beat them off using traditional tools or on-site appliances. One reason for this is that current attacks can be more than 100 times larger than a company&#8217;s available pipe or backbone. As a result, the entire system collapses and all traffic (including legitimate IP traffic) is blackholed for hours or days. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/science-and-technology\/ddosd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">US Department of Homeland Security<\/a>, the scale of attacks has increased tenfold in recent years, and &#8220;it is not clear if current network infrastructure could withstand future attacks if they continue to increase in scale.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In October 2019, Amazon Web Services (AWS) was hit by a major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/cloud\/eight-hour-ddos-attack-struck-aws-customers\/d\/d-id\/1336165\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DDoS attack roughly eight hours long<\/a> that prevented users from connecting. The attack caused AWS to miscategorize legitimate customer queries as malicious. Google Cloud Platform experienced problems at roughly the same time, but the company says the incident was unrelated to DDoS. In February 2020, AWS reported a 2.3 Tbit\/s attack \u2014 in other words, a little under half of all the traffic that telecom BT sees on its entire UK network during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/technology-53093611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a normal working day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<br \/><\/strong>Hosting providers and ISPs are increasingly being exposed to cyber threats, but during the pandemic, as use of these services has skyrocketed, cyberattackers have broadened their reach to include targets in vertical markets such as e-commerce, online gaming and gambling, healthcare, and educational services (think homeschooling).<\/p>\n<p>No DDoS mitigation solution is foolproof, so it makes sense for organizations to beef up their existing tools with as much timely and reliable threat intelligence as possible. By blocking bad actors from their networks, ISPs can avoid falling victim to carpet-bombing attacks that can cripple their operations. If they&#8217;re attacked, they should never pay a ransom. Doing so only emboldens the bad guys and supports further criminal activity.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"italic\">Marc Wilczek is a columnist and recognized thought leader, geared toward helping organizations drive their digital agenda and achieve higher levels of innovation and productivity through technology.
