DDoS Solutions Provider “Wrongly Accused of Hosting Gambling Website” |
 |
November 19, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) solutions provider Prolexic Technologies was wrongly accused of hosting a gambling website during the break up of an online betting ring, the company announced recently. The company was named in an indictment issued by New York authorities as being the web hosting provider to an illegal online gambling operation.
“Our job is to prevent DDoS attacks, which are one of the most costly cybercrimes on the Internet,” explained Prolexic Technologies’ President Mr. Keith Laslop. “Prolexic Technologies in the past has worked closely with U.S. and U.K. law enforcement agencies in regard to tracking DDoS attackers, and was instrumental in the arrest of a high-profile Russian mafia figure that used DDoS to take websites hostage until paid a ransom. We have a history of cooperating with law enforcement authorities, and our name will be cleared of any wrong doing. Meanwhile, we are continuing to operate, as the leader in DDoS defense services.”
Prolexic Technologies offers a service that masks a client’s IP address in order to mitigate DDoS attacks. When trace routes are performed, it can appear that Prolexic Technologies is the host server, when in fact that is not the case. |
