Australian bookmakers Betstar have selected Prolexic to provide protection and mitigation services for dealing with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Online betting companies are prime targets for DDoS attacks, which are often timed around marquee betting events, such as the recent Melbourne Cup horseracing meet. Betstar experienced collateral damage during a recent DDoS attack against a competitor, with whom Betstar shared infrastructure in a colocation data center. The attack came at the start of this year’s Spring Carnival and the experience was sufficiently unnerving for Betstar to put Prolexic on the case. Prolexic claims to have buttressed Betstar’s defenses within three days of inking the contract and Betstar IT manager Bryan Dunne says the site hasn’t been forced offline since.
