Dyn delivers an informative article about IoT devices and how these can actually represent a big threat in terms of security. By some estimates, there will be 6.4 billion connected devices this year and roughly 21 billion by 2020, and this is something we can all be worried about. This week a massive DDoS attack happened which was aimed at a brick-and-mortar jewellery shop, what was unusual about this attack is that it was performed by 25000 internet-connected TV devices – IoT devices.

HTTP Referer Blacklisting enables the content owner to prevent hotlinking and save on CDN bandwidth costs. If you don’t know what hotlinking is – it’s when someone uses your content on their website by sending requests to your server instead of their own. When your server is a CDN server, you’re paying money to make your content available on someone else’s website, and not your own. Before this MaxCDN had a whitelisting feature and no blacklisting options available.

Level 3 issues a statement on special access letter
Verizon Communications and INCOMPAS, a trade association that represents technology companies filled a letter with the FCC which proposes a framework for reform of the market for business data services, also known as special access, to promote competition for enterprise communications services. Level 3 has been pleased to support this letter with the following statement:
“For more than a decade, American consumers, businesses, nonprofits and government institutions have been waiting for the FCC to take action and spur competition in the market for business data services, the wireline connections powering our data-driven world. While it may not get much attention, the business data services market is a $45 billion business enabling everything from mobile phones to the internet to ATMs. We’d like to thank FCC Chairman Wheeler for committing to bringing long-overdue reform to this critical market, which begins the process of breaking the incumbents’ hold for the benefit of consumers, competitors and the broader U.S. economy.” – Joseph Cavender, VP at Level 3
