DDoS attacks against banks raise question: Is this cyberwar?
It's been a month of crippling denial-of-service attacks on websites operated by U.S. banks and financial services firms. A terrorist organization called Al-Qassam takes credit online, but now the attacks are being blamed on Iran.
So is this just another case of cybercrime, or something entirely different? Could this be cyberwar?
Within the past month, crushing blasts of 65Gbps traffic, mainly from thousands of compromised Web servers, has targeted Bank of America, Wells Fargo, US Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Sun Trust, PNC Financial Services, Regions Financial and Capital One. The attacks have effectively cut bank customers off from online services for extended periods.

Could Cyber Attacks Ruin Christmas for Retailers?
A string of cyber attacks on U.S. financial institutions has created headaches this fall by slowing down or preventing online banking access for millions of Americans. But imagine the real economic damage that similar-style attacks would cause if they struck U.S. retailers this holiday-shopping season, potentially eating into projected online sales of $54 billion. While retailers deserve credit for bolstering their defenses against credit-card-hungry organized crime rings, security professionals believe the industry is vulnerable to this different kind of onslaught aimed at crippling online sales.

Banks Pushed to Clear Fog of Cyberwar
Mary Gieser McCandless recently spent three hours trying to log on to Wells Fargo WFC -0.28% & Co.'s website before a customer service representative declared the problem was her computer.
The diagnosis puzzled Ms. McCandless, who is no Luddite. She builds database software from her home in Winston-Salem, N.C. She only figured out the real problem later that day, after seeing news reports about how big banks were the target of a cyberattack.
"It's really annoying that I had to go to other sources to find out what was going on with my bank," she said. "It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence."

5 Vendors Exploiting Cisco's ADN Downshift
In a move first confirmed by CRN in September, Cisco will cease development of its Application Control Engine (ACE) load-balancer products, effectively leaving behind a major piece of its Layer 4-7 switching/application delivery networking strategy. Naturally, Cisco's biggest competitors in the ADN space are pouncing on the opportunity to gain market share, and while Cisco's isn't exactly market-crushing -- it has a roughly 11 percent share, according to most analysts -- it's hardly inconsequential.
