Publicly disclosed information for this event

According to sources, the Authority of Port System successfully defended against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that targeted Italian port authorities' Internet servers. While other Italian port authorities experienced temporary outages due to DDoS attacks that flood computer systems with abnormal traffic requests, the victim managed to withstand the attacks.

The attacks lasted for several days and produced a sustained traffic volume of more than 10 million requests per hour (with peaks of 13 million per hour). The port utilized previously installed protection systems and implemented additional security configurations during the peak attack phase to ensure normal website access while blocking or limiting potentially harmful traffic.
