It is vital that organisations equip themselves with the real-time detection and mitigation solutions that are capable of withstanding sustained attacks without impacting the service expected by customers.” This technique will become a staple in the hacker’s armoury.
Radware began working with ProtonMail on November 8th as part of their Emergency Response Service and service was restored shortly after.Ĭarl Herberger, Vice President for Security Solutions at Radware, says “that corporations need to understand the severity of the Advanced Persistent DoS attacks, such as SMTP DoS, and review their security measures: ‘APDoS is akin to the way bomber aircraft would jam radar systems many years ago – the type of attack is so varied and frequent that it becomes near impossible to detect them all, and more importantly difficult to mitigate them without impacting your legitimate web traffic. Radware’s AMS technology can accurately detect and mitigate emerging network attacks without the need for human intervention and without blocking legitimate user traffic, complemented by real-time reporting and monitoring. The Swiss-based secure email provider has selected Radware’s Attack Mitigation System (AMS) to help it take control of the situation and regain control of the mail service. This impacted over half a million users worldwide, including many journalists, activists, and dissidents who are active on our platform.” The attack significantly disrupted our infrastructure and made email access impossible. This second attack caused the bulk of the damage.Īndy Yen, CEO of ProtonMail states, “Their sole objective was to take ProtonMail offline, at any cost, with no regards for collateral damage, and to keep us offline for as long as possible.
The second attack came from an unknown group. The first attacker, the Armada Collective is a new hacking group motivated by financial gain who demanded a ransom from the company. ProtonMail has been fighting a series of Advanced Persistent DoS (APDoS) attacks, which have exceeded 100Gbps, and numerous attack vectors, that have shut down their secure email service, their ISP and every other company in their data center. Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions ensuring optimal service level for applications in virtual, cloud and software defined data centers, has been appointed by ProtonMail to help it fight back on the cyber attacks it has endured from multiple, simultaneous attackers.
