On Monday, August 19, at two o’clock in the morning, the DDoS attack on Monobank stopped. It lasted for three days.
One of the bank’s co-founders, Oleg Gorokhovsky, wrote about this on Telegram.
During this time, the bank received more than 7.5 billion requests.
"We have not slowed down or stopped serving customers for a minute. I am very grateful to our IT team and everyone who expressed words of support and offered help," Gorokhovsky noted.
A DDoS attack is an attack on an institution’s computer systems with the aim of disrupting access to a resource. During an attack, so many external requests are created simultaneously that the attacked system is unable to process them. Consequently, failures occur.
