CISA Warns of DDoS Attacks on US Organizations Following Multiple Incidents

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a warning about ongoing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks affecting multiple industry sectors in the United States.

To counter these attacks, all U.S. organizations are advised to proactively prepare their security teams and take necessary measures to prevent or minimize the impact of such attacks.

One proactive measure is for network administrators to be prepared to swiftly implement firewall rules or reroute malicious traffic through DoS protection services. This helps prevent attackers from successfully targeting online portals or services.

Internet service providers (ISPs) can also provide guidance on the appropriate actions to take during such attacks.

“CISA is aware of open-source reporting of targeted denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against multiple organizations in multiple sectors,” the cybersecurity agency said.

“These attacks can cost an organization time and money and may impose reputational costs while resources and services are inaccessible.”

CISA, in collaboration with the FBI and MS-ISAC, offers guidance on pre- and post-DDoS attack measures.
