Renting a DDoS attack on the Dark Web is going for $10/h, $200/day, or for $500-$1,2000 for week-long attacks according to Armor. Andrew Lloyd, President at Corero Network Security commented below.
“This data is order of magnitude consistent with what we’ve seen before. The data confirms that for as little as $100, you can acquire a DDoS attack sufficient to wreak havoc upon the victim. Corero’s primary research reveals that enterprises estimate the cost to the victim of a successful DDoS attack at $50,000; this figure includes the direct cost to recover from the attack and an estimate of the lost revenue & reputational damage. With this 500:1 imbalance in the criminal’s favour, it is no surprise that many enterprises are actively upgrading their defences from legacy DDoS technologies that typically mitigate in tens of minutes to real-time solutions that mitigate in seconds.”
