Spamhaus Vs. Cyberbunker – Internet’s largest cyber attac in history just false alarm

Various reputable news outlets such as CNN, BBC, New York Times rushed to reveal dramatic headlines claiming that the Internet speed has seriously decreased globally in recent days, following what the “experts” labeled as “the largest cyber attack in history” committed by some European hackers who want to jam the Web infrastructure. Well, it emerged that allegations are totally fake and it looks like also the most famed publications fail sometimes to process correctly their information and elaborate a realistic aspect of an incident.

In brief, the whole turmoil sparked with a public clash between Spamhaus, an European organization that fights spammers, and Cyberbunker, a Dutch hosting firm slammed for housing them.

The spam-fighting organization normally tracks down spammers across Internet and publishes a list of Web servers employed by the cyber criminals. The list is apparently used by about 80% of the ISPs to block spam content.

Over the course of March 2013, CyberBunker was placed on Spamhaus’s blacklist. In retaliation, the web-hosting company seems to have initiated an extended distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack that targeted the website of the Spamhaus which contacted internet security company CloudFlare before announcing that the attack has such a magnitude that would be able to bring down the entire Web. And from here a general hysteria about Internet’s doomsday spread like wildfire.

However, things are not that dramatic as presented and a couple of points suggest that the Internet cyber apocalypse is just a lie. For example: 1. almost none felt a slowed-down internet traffic; 2. the “scary” cyber attack broke out a week ago but there was no significant buzz about it till recently; 3. no web monitoring company reported the imminence of a possible crash of the global network. Anyway a detailed article published by Gizmodo sheds light on real aspects behind the whole scandal.

The Internet traffic fluctuations caused by the “devastating” DDoS attack were not felt at all in Europe and nowhere else.

“We have not seen any change or any traffic hike in the last 48 hours”, announced Neo Telecoms, an active IP operator in Europe.

“Of the 600 European customers that we have, we have not received complaints on this issue,” assured Neo Telecoms.

Furthermore, Franco-American company Cedex which is known as an important player on the European market said in a statement that “concerning the overall Internet traffic, we haven’t received complaints about significant technical problems.”
