The Story

Bitcoin exchanges are increasingly becoming top targets of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, cyber security software and services outfit Imperva has reported.

 

How many Bitcoin exchanges are we talking about?

According to Imperva, nearly 74% of all Bitcoin sites using its services suffered some form of DDoS attack. This might be due to Bitcoin's price rally over the past few months.

 

Online gambling sites remain as top DDoS attack targets.

About 34.5% of total attacks were directed at gambling sites. Meanwhile, 14.4% of attacks were absorbed by gaming sites and 10.8% of attacks targeted business process outsourcing companies working for gambling operators.
