Over the Weekend: The Self-Destruct Feature
Jump to Comments
Three quick ROK/US updates from the weekend:
- It appears that machines involved in the DDoS attacks from July 4th onward are beginning to self-destruct. Brian Krebs at WaPo has some good coverage.
- Some more detailed reports (aka digital forensics) are beginning to trickle out from the machines involved in the botnet (at least before they go kaput). ROK security firm Hauri has released a report for perusal, if you’re feeling technical.
- Accounts now suggest that attacks relented for most if not all U.S. targets last Tuesday, and have since then been focusing on South Korean sites.
