Data Gathering The Gathering in Vikingskipet once goes away without complications. This Easter event more vulnerable to cyber attacks than ever before.
About 5,500 youngsters and almost 10,000 computers are at work in the world’s second largest computer in Hamar. All the machines are connected to the 40 gigabit large internet connection in the Viking Ship, as the last two days, the constant has been subjected to so-called DDoS attacks, writes Hamar Arbeiderblad.
– This is an enemy attack. DDoS attacks are simply the filling capacity of the Internet connection. You can compare with the E6 is full. There’s a line, and you can not get through, says Peter Blakstad, technically responsible for the gathering, told the newspaper.
– Participants have noticed, there is no doubt. But we have managed to minimize the damage as far as possible. But there is no cure for DDoS, so we’ll just do what we can. Unfortunately it is very easy to do these attacks, as the world is today, continues Blakstadheia.
He did not suspect that there are professional hackers trying to make Easter holidays sour for thousands of youngsters.
– it’s enough for some of the younger generation who think it’s fun to see what kind of consequences it provides, but that does not see the big picture and how serious it can be.
