I remember a case I work with sh, there was a worm and it came at night during peak hours.

If it was a worm, expect it to come again.

Was watch starhub tv during that timing, no problem leh. Catching up on the last episode of Celebrity Car Wars. Anyone watching this show?

 

 

If the IP address is hard coded and does not need a DNS to resolve the URL, then it'll get through.

 

It's still good to have 2 different DNS server providers.

[Jungus]

Having similar thoughts

[Kb27]

Internal servers, such as those for storing and streaming video files can use private IP and hard coded. No need for DNS.

 

SH recent case appears to be DDoS on its DNS servers.

[Kopites]

Starhub please faster go and fix the problem lah.

 

They only know how to block the prawn sites.

 

Fix the DN server don't know how.

 

Good at the useless things.

 

Useless at the good things.

Starhub announced it kenna cyber attacked.

 

 

StarHub has confirmed that its broadband disruptions on Saturday and Monday were due to cyber attacks.

In a statement late yesterday, StarHub said that it had suffered "intentional" and "likely malicious" distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on its Domain Name Servers (DNS). DDoS attacks work by having thousands of infected computers accessing and overwhelming a targeted site, causing a spike in traffic.

Such attacks led to a massive Internet outage on the east coast of the United States last Friday, cutting off access to websites ranging from the New York Times site to Spotify.

On Saturday and Monday, StarHub broadband customers were affected by disruptions lasting about two hours each owing to a spike in traffic to its DNS. "These two recent attacks that we experienced were unprecedented in scale, nature and complexity," the telco said.

On both occasions, it mitigated the attacks by filtering unwanted traffic and increasing its DNS capacity. It maintained that the security of customers' information was not compromised.

The incident took place on the heels of the attacks in the United States targeted at US-based Internet infrastructure provider Dyn, which provides managed DNS services.

A DNS is a database that translates Web addresses such as www.nameofwebsite.com into machine-readable sets of digits - also known as Internet protocol addresses - for customers to view websites on their computers. When a DNS is not operating optimally, customers may not be able to access websites.

Earlier yesterday, the Cyber Security Agency and the Infocomm Media Development Authority urged StarHub to determine the root cause of the problem and prevent a recurrence.

StarHub said it will continue to stay vigilant and is working closely with the authorities to determine the intent and source of the two DDoS attacks.

 

 

How come M1 and Stinktel are spared? Whoever is behind the attack must be sick of Starhub.

it was only the internet service disrupted, hub tv was ok. 

 

My hubstation is giving out free internet broadband, and its also no problem.  i was happily surfing 

[Spinelli_ck]

since the prolonged outage was attributed to a DDOS attack, i wonder if StarHub has ingress filtering in place. 

[Ahgong]

i am sure they have lah.

the question is, was it working?

if no, why not?

Cyberattacks on StarHub came from subscribers' infected devices
