64% of US banks targeted by DDoS attack

According to new independent research commissioned by Corero Network Security, and conducted by the Ponemon Institute, two thirds of banks in the United States have suffered a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack during the last 12 months. The 64% statistic refers to the number of IT and IT security practitioners who reported that the banks at which they work were subject to at least one DDoS attack during 2012.
