DDoS Attack<\/span><\/p>\n

In mid-January, Lloyds Bank came under attack after their websites were overwhelmed with millions of requests in a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack preventing customers from being able to access their accounts for three days.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This prompted a response from the National Cyber Security Centre who were working with the bank to deal with the attack and it seems the systems engineers put in place necessary internet traffic blocks and averted any real danger.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is in sharp contrast to the hacking of Tesco Bank two months earlier, in which \u00a32.5m was taken.<\/span><\/p>\n
