Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, today announced that it has mitigated a number of attacks directed at the web site of Junta Central Electoral (JCE), the central electoral board of the Dominican Republic during a recent general election.
A DDoS attack uses multiple sources, often from compromised desktop systems (also known as a botnet), to flood a target system with legitimate looking requests. The target system is overwhelmed causing infrastructure failure and the inability to service normal users.
