Telewest Servers Suffer DoS Attack

Posted: 12th Jun, 2003 By: MarkJ
It's been reported that Telewests servers have been hit by a "particularly large" DoS (Denial of Service) attack. The assault took place on Tuesday and caused problems for customers in the North of England, London and the South East:

The cableco is still investigating the incident, which is believed to have affected a sizeable chunk of Telewest's 300,000 broadband punters, denying them access to their service from around 6.30pm to 11.00pm.

It seems the attack originated from a number of different locations outside the UK. The cableco said it was unable to trace the source of the attack.


The Register reports that Telewest has plans to trial a number of new protective measures against such attacks.
