Only one week after a massive DDoS attack knocked GitHub offline, a new attack dubbed “Memcrash” used the same methods to hack a U.S. service provider by targeting memcache servers.

Unsecured, exposed ports enabled hackers to implant large payloads on an exposed memcached server. As with most attacks, once in, damage can be done swiftly.
