StarHub broadband disrupted by cyberattacks

DDOS attacks took out home broadband customers.

Singapore telecom operator StarHub Ltd said on Tuesday intentional cyber attacks had caused web connection disruptions for some of its home broadband customers on October 22 and October 24.

The company said it analyzed network logs of the disruptions and found that it had experienced intentional and likely malicious distributed denial-of-service attacks on its domain name servers.

Distributed denial-of-service attackers typically target sites by flooding servers with messages from multiple systems so they are unable to respond to legitimate traffic.

StarHub said there was no evidence of any impact on the rest of its services, and the security of its customers' information was not compromised.
