New ‘Loop DoS’ attack may impact up to 300,000 online systems By Bill Toulas March 20, 2024 03:40 PM 0 A new denial-of-service attack dubbed 'Loop DoS' targeting application layer protocols can pair network services into an indefinite communication loop that creates large volumes of traffic. Devised by researchers at the CISPA Helmholtz-Center for Information Security, the attack uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and impacts an estimated 300,000 host and their network...
