New Delhi, Dec 25 : Desktop virtualisation leader Citrix has admitted being hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) cyberattack, saying the company is continuing to investigate the impact the attack poses on its application delivery controller (ADC) devices.
Citrix ADC is the most comprehensive application delivery and load balancing solution for application security and holistic visibility. Citrix is aware of a DDoS attack pattern impacting Citrix ADCs. As part of this attack, an attacker or bots can overwhelm the Citrix ADC DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) network throughput, potentially leading to outbound bandwidth exhaustion, the company said in its threat update.
