Antivirus that became “the biggest virus”. Monitoring of cyber attacks

The software CrowdStrike falcon, which is used in many global corporate services for automatic protection against cyber threats, became such a threat itself after a failed update. Blue screen of death (BSOD), cyclic reboots of Windows, I think everyone felt the scale of the consequences.

As reported, this is not a cyber attack, but a “defect” in yesterday’s software update. Workaround for startup issue here . There are many questions about the quality of pre-release testing, how could such a “flaw” have been missed for a global cybersecurity company.

A10networks – intelligence map of DDoS threats. A real-time analytical map that collects data on the number and location (IP addresses) of current DDoS attacks worldwide. The purpose of the service is to help visualize the “landscape” of threats and prepare for the next wave of DDoS attacks on your infrastructure.

Downdetector – monitors interruptions and stability of the most popular Internet services. Check which services are already working, the number of reports about existing failures, their localization, the beginning / end of the occurrence of disruptions, etc. Powered by user reports and problem indicators from around the web.

Fortinet real-time attack map , Bitdefender live cyber threat map , SonicWall live cyber attacks map , Threatbutt – a few more similar monitoring maps for tracking cyber attacks in real time. For those who do not really understand this, I recommend the map from BitDefender.
