The Hidden Tactics Cybercriminals Use in DDoS Attacks—and How You Can Outsmart Them Before It’s Too Late
Inform users that you’re aware of the issue and are actively working to resolve it. Let customers know which services are affected, especially if you run an e-commerce or membership site. Provide estimated timelines if possible, but avoid making promises you can’t keep.
6. Be patient
DDoS attacks are scary but mostly short-lived. Once your mitigation measures are in place, the best course of action is to simply wait it out.
Focus on monitoring your systems and adjusting filters rather than overreacting or making major changes. Keep an eye on traffic patterns so you know when the attack ends. Then, slowly go back to business as usual but stay vigilant for other threats, like a compromised site or a second wave of attacks.
