Imperva

Imperva

The florists associated with Incapsula now known as Imperva, suffered a ransomware attack in the Valentine's week of 2016 which resulted in a huge loss of revenue.

ALl of the 34 floristes of Inperva were truck by targeted distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks while one of the website crashed after its content delivery network (CDN) interpreted the attack traffic as legitimate user sessions and routed the traffic through the origin server.

One of them also received a ransom demand for restoring the access to the website, however, Imperva immediately helped them get their business online and restore all the access.
