Citrix warns of active DDoS attack targeting its Application Delivery Controllers
SHARE
Citrix Systems Inc. has issued a threat advisory over a distributed denial-of-service attack that’s actively targeting Citrix Application Delivery Controllers.
The campaign involves overwhelming the Citrix ADB Datagram Transport Layer Security network throughput to cause outbound bandwidth exhaustion that can result in potential outages. The effect of the attack is said to be more prominent on connections with limited bandwidth.
The exact number of users affected was not disclosed in the Wednesday advisory. Citrix said only that the scope of the attack at this time is limited to a small number of customers around the world and that there are Citrix vulnerabilities associated with the event. ZDNet reported today that the attacks have mostly included online gaming services such as Steam and Xbox, with the attacks first detected last week.
