The Hidden Tactics Cybercriminals Use in DDoS Attacks—and How You Can Outsmart Them Before It’s Too Late
Confirm the cause so you can respond appropriately. Look for warning signs such as:
- Sudden and unusual spikes in visits or requests in traffic logs or analytics
- Repeated requests to the same page or endpoint, like “wp-login.php”
- A flood of requests from a small number of IP ranges or geographic regions
- Messages or alerts from your WAF or CDN provider
3. Contact your hosting provider
Your hosting provider can and should be your strongest ally to stop a DDoS attack. They have the tools, infrastructure, and expertise to help mitigate the impact.
