It also opens up more opportunities for attackers who are politically motivated, or who just want to do random damage, he said.
And because the services isolate the buyers from the attack itself, companies can launch attacks against their competitors.
"It opens up the door for different motivations behind the attacks," he said.
According to a recent survey of InfoSec professionals, 34 percent of companies were hit by a DDoS attack in 2016.
And 17 percent said that they received a ransom denial of service threat, said the report, released earlier this year by Radware.

People filled the ballroom of the Hilton Austin Downtown Hotel, waiting to hear about empathy’s short supply yet extreme importance.
Jamil Zaki, a psychology professor from Stanford University, spoke at SXSW on March 12 at the Hilton. Highlighting his upcoming book “The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World,” Zaki discussed empathy and how society can use it to mend gaps within cultures.
To better understand empathy, Zaki began by taking the crowd back in time and speaking about how though early humans on earth were intellectually underdeveloped, the thing setting them apart from animals was each other.
Zaki displayed a video of a man walking a tightrope and said viewers watching often squirm in their seats, imagining his experience as their own. He said the reason for this is because of our ability to empathize — sharing what others feel.
He listed ways empathy benefits the self, others and community, including a decrease in depression and loneliness, increase in marital satisfaction and a stronger generosity toward strangers.
“Empathy helps all sorts of people, including the people who actually feel it,” Zaki said.
Despite these benefits, Zaki said empathy is easier said than done. Looking at early humans, Zaki said empathy looked different then because individuals lived in small, familiar communities, making it easier to empathize with others. Today, society has shifted from living in rural communities to urban areas.
Because of this, he said empathy cannot develop. Thus, Zaki introduced a view of empathy he’s been studying — empathy isn’t a fixed trait. He said throughout his childhood, he experienced a continual recalibration of empathy when alternating from each parent’s house after their divorce.
Through this, Zaki concluded empathy isn’t only a trait but also a skill, and experiences shape it. He said encouraging empathy to be a norm can grow empathy.
In a study his research team conducted, they tried convincing 1,182 seventh graders from five middle schools in the San Francisco Bay Area that empathy was “cool.” They discovered the more they presented empathy as a norm, it impacted the children’s beliefs and kind behavior.
“Empathetic norms can make a difference in schools but they can make differences in other places too,” Zaki said.
Another way he suggested empathy growth was by focusing on an individual experience. His Stanford research team conducted another study using virtual reality to create an immersive experience of a homeless person. They found even after a month, individuals who went through the experience felt a greater empathy for home...
“If we want to cross boundaries between us and them, a great way to start is with you and I,” Zaki said.
Thus, Zaki concluded saying through developing empathy, society can begin to take this renewable, precious resource and use it with purpose.

My father served in World War I for French and American forces. After the war ended, he came home with a bride. He secured employment and all went well for many years.
After the death of mother, the Depression followed. This meant moving from Newton out into the country area to farm. After time, a few veterans started an American Legion Post. For many years, all patriotic organizations could meet free of charge in town buildings. Then, the population grew and space was needed. Town H...
In passing of time, members aging and moving causing responsibilities to fall on few. Expenses started to accrue. The decision to sell was made.
These men supported town parades with flying colors and at comrades� services. The few who were able and qualified joined the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
These veterans, with dignity, had sold their home post to be used as a pre-school. Veterans took changes in stride and did not seek money, instead giving support to those in need.
Attending a flag retirement ceremony in Concord, started by Dr. MacDonald, they saw the need of one in our town. The first ceremony was held in cemeteries where the tattered and torn flags were respectfully burned, assisted by the Boy and Girl Scouts.
Do these older veterans have a state commander to guide them in the proper procedure in trying to procure a proper place for their regalia to be received? A war museum or historical society?
What a contrast in feelings in the Clinton Post. We have many ladies (seniors) who have worked hard and long to make the town aware of the needs of aging populations, only to be ignored by townspeople in favor of property that would serve a few.
In former years, people could afford to be generous in heart and soul and didn�t resort to whining like children to get their own way � with their wishes to be the first considered.
The seniors work well for the betterment of conditions and needs of all seniors � a pleasant, considerate group of women and men. I am proud to be one of them. We had marvelous support from the businesses for Clinton Days.

Mary Burke is still pinching herself.
After years of work securing everything from financing to building permits, Saturday was moving day for some of the new tenants of Paseo Senter at Coyote Creek. The brand new 218-unit complex is a project of Charities Housing, a leading affordable housing developer in Santa Clara County.
At a time when many low-income homeowners are struggling to avoid foreclosure and many rents remain out of reach, Paseo Senter is a comforting path for the needy through Silicon Valley’s notoriously tight housing economy.
The buildings are painted in tropical hues – green, orange and blue. Each of the one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments have small balconies and large kitchens that open onto living rooms. There’s designated parking for bicycles. A fitness center is in the works. A tot-lot with two slides is ready for squealing child...
Paseo Senter at Coyote Creek backs onto Coyote Creek, and is a short walk to Kelley Park and Happy Hollow Park and Zoo. The vast majority of tenants are Latino and Vietnamese families with children. Some units are reserved for disabled single adults. On Saturday, young children could be seen pushing brand-new mattresse...
Burke struggles with depression, chronic back pain and colon cancer, and her disabilities have rendered her unable to work. Corey, her 25-year-old son, lives nearby, and his 11-month-old daughter, Michayla, is the apple of Burke’s eye.
Burke lived in a studio until she found it impossible to keep up with payments. She was homeless for nearly three months, and got by through couch-surfing from friend to friend. A social worker with Mountain View’s Community Services Agency let Burke know that new apartments were available at Paseo Senter.
Nearly 3,000 people applied for the 218 available units. Word quickly spread among families and friends. Charities Housing held a lottery to determine who would get an apartment and Burke was among the lucky ones. Rent is based on income, so she’ll pay just $260 a month.
When it came time to pick her unit, Burke headed for the elevator. She wanted a top floor apartment – more peace and quiet that way. From her balcony, she can hear birds and the bubbling of Coyote Creek. She has a view of the east foothills and Mount Hamilton.

Investment bank Credit Suisse has increased its workforce by 1,600, including IT staff, since the beginning of last year - as it turned in an increased profit.
In its results announcement for the end of the first quarter, the group said it had 48,300 employees overall, up from 46,700 at the same time a year ago.
The bank said that the growth was mainly in its IT department, alongside its sales force for fixed income, prime services and cash equities in its Investment Banking division.
