In late 2016 in France, telecom company OVH was hit by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. Experts were struck by how the assault was 100 times larger than similar threats. The following month, over 175,000 websites suffered, as Dyn, a managed DNS (Domain Name System) provider, was hit by another powerful DDoS attack. Much of the eastern United States and some of Europe suffered a significant drop in Internet quality.
Some hacking groups like Anonymous and New World Hackers claimed responsibility in retaliation for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange being cut off from the Internet by the Ecuadorian government. However, American officials and security firms cast doubt on these claims. One thing was for sure. The weapon behind these attacks was the Mirai botnet malware.
The timing couldnāt have been worse. With the American elections around the corner, there were fears that the malware would impact voters. Experts speculated that the malicious software was the handiwork of a rogue state intent on manipulating the democratic process.
They couldnāt have been further from the truth.
