Earlier this week, EPCYBER has identified a large scale network of Chinese botnet as-a-service which consists of various domains, over 20 active telegram groups and other domestic communication channels using Chinese infrastructure.
It is evident that the methods and botnet developed and used by the group, successfully bypasses latest DDoS protection of popular vendors such as CloudFlare and others – which puts Western targets at risk of denial of service attacks despite protections in place.

Among the targets shared within these groups are popular domains of companies operating in different sectors and industries, of multiple countries in Europe.
Screenshot of one of the channel in which it is reported that a target website has successfully executed a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on it, despite the fact that DDoS protections are already in place.
gbhacker reported ” The attackers can then use the botnet’s combined processing power to disrupt operations, steal data, or launch denial-of-service attacks that overwhelm targeted systems with traffic, rendering them inaccessible to legitimate users.
Even if a target is using these well-known DDoS protection services, it is still at risk of being offline due to a denial-of-service attack because a group has developed strategies and a botnet that can bypass the most recent DDoS protection solutions from CloudFlare and other vendors.” Click here to read the full report.
