Hello, Do you still have room / need for a speakerslot to be filled in?
In the Netherlands there was (or Mayne still is) a DDoS campaign; where targets receive ransom mails; a target must pay an amount of bitcoins to prevent to be ddos’ed. If they don’t pay they will receive a DDoS attack. This group (or groups) do actually sent DDoS attacks to these victims. We are now in contact with the police and other stake holders to see how big this problem is and how to investigate the attacks and attackers It would be interesting to see if this problem is known in the UK and customers of UK hosting providers. If so, then is a mutual approach possible to fight these kind of ransom-DDoS. Can we see a shift from ransomware to ransom-DDoS? Please let me know if you still have a speakerslot available for this topic. Thanks. — Kind regards, Pim van Stam ________________________________ Stichting NBIP / NBIP-NaWas [email protected] PO Box 628 6710 BP Ede NL Tel: +31 318 489350 WWW: http://www.nbip.nl/ > On 24 Apr 2020, at 12:33, Denesh Bhabuta :: UKNOF <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear colleagues > > UKNOF and LINX will be co-hosting an online meeting on 11 May (14;30 - 16:30 > BST) and the UKNOF Programme Committee are seeking content from the community > for this. > > You may often hear it said that UKNOF's remit is "distribution of clue", and > for our first fully remote meeting, we are looking for content which is > timely and operattionally relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. > > The whole session is planned for around 90-120 minutes and with this in mind, > we are looking for 5-6 presentations which are no longer than 10 minutes in > length each.
