How we repelled the attack
It all started when, on the morning of October 21st, we noticed unusually high activity on one of our client's websites. Thousands of search engine crawlers began accessing the interior design studio's website. This caused all websites hosted on the same server as the one being attacked to load slowly. It became clear that the attackers were masquerading as search engine crawlers—we were under a DDoS attack
What is a DDoS attack?
A DDoS attack is an attack by malicious actors aimed at disrupting a company's infrastructure and customer services. Attackers artificially create an avalanche of requests to an online resource to increase the load and disable it.
Hackers have changed their DDoS attack tactics.
Hackers reduced the duration of their attacks but increased other parameters: the average attack power in terms of capacity (Gbps) increased by 18%, repeating last year's record of 710 Gbps.
Differences between DDoS and DDOS attacks
The development of DDoS attacks was preceded by DOS: a simplified version of the attack that blocks user access to a resource by generating an excessive number of requests.
Click "Delete," empty the Recycle Bin, and the file is gone forever? It's a common misconception. In fact, data remains on the disk long after the operating system no longer "sees" it. Photos, documents, correspondence—all of this can resurface at the most unexpected moment, when the computer falls into the wrong hands.
When you enter your bank card number on an online store website, your data passes through dozens of servers and routers. Along the way from your device to the final server, the information can be intercepted at any point. This is why security protocols exist—they convert readable data into an encrypted sequence of characters.

How to find out information about a person
Online data protection is one of the most pressing issues in 2025. We spend more and more time online, leaving more and more personal information there. Unfortunately, this information can be used by criminals.
We use multiple devices to surf the internet, and every computer or smartphone we use collects and transmits data to the websites we visit. This information includes, for example, your geolocation, device description, its technical characteristics, and other data that allows websites to identify you by device and even block you for minor infractions. We'll share 11 of the most popular and effective ways to protect your personal information, mask your IP address, and bypass blocking.
In the digital age, when our lives are increasingly connected to the internet and technology, we leave behind a huge amount of information about ourselves. From search queries and social media to online transactions and emails, every action we take in the virtual world leaves traces that can be used by third parties for a variety of purposes, including malicious ones. In this article, we'll look at how to properly manage your digital footprint and how to maintain anonymity online, protecting your privacy and reputation.
Absolute anonymity online is a myth. The question isn't whether your online activity can be tracked, but how difficult it is. Using anonymization tools requires effort and knowledge of the nuances: technical, legal, and ethical.
In the age of pervasive digital surveillance and data collection, personal anonymity is becoming not just desirable, but essential. Today, we'll share the five best tools to help protect your privacy and maintain anonymity while surfing the internet.
As outlined in the practical guide, there are several ways to achieve decent anonymity. This also applies to creating a new digital identity. However, all of these methods share several common steps
As mentioned earlier, it's impossible to create a 100% hack-proof website, but we can make a hacker's job significantly more difficult. If you're using Joomla 5.3.3 (or later), you can take basic steps to help protect your site from attackers. According to confirmed reports, over 30,000 websites are hacked daily—a significant number, enough to understand that everyone is at risk. There's no point in becoming part of this sad statistic.
