This isn’t a persistent attack, which should immediately suggest the attacker is saturating or blocking one of the following resources:
Once they stop attacking, these will gradually be freed up, therefore things will go back to normal. This could be by launching multiple long-running processes in parallel, or it might be by sending many requests containing large amounts of data simultaneously. Either of these could be intentional or simply ingenuity on the part of a user. |
