According to a new report from Secureworks, endpoint attack vectors that include email, popular operating systems, and apps are on the rise.
In response to attacks by way of Android apps, Google has removed thousands of nefarious apps that had the capability to launch malware enabling developers to launch a wide array of attacks including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), and Ransomware attacks.
Cloudflare’s ddos protection is not magic and does not address all ddos scenarios. Also it would be better to prevent zombie bots from existing to begin with than rely on defeating the attacks using them.
And it isn’t necessarily reasonable to expect everyone to use Cloudflare (or similar) just because of DDoS.
For example, if I have to use Cloudflare (or similar), can I send the bill to the owners of the devices who are DDoSing me? (whether the owners are aware of it or not)
