Prolexic, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced today that it has mitigated several DDoS attacks against a URL used by online merchants for payment processing.

The payment processing platform is owned by IPG Holdings Limited, an independent, privately-owned technology company that specializes in the development, maintenance, and support of enterprise payment gateways delivered through Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). IPG hosts payment forms for some large direct merchants and payment service providers and these front-facing forms have been vulnerable to DDoS attacks.

DDoS attackers are constantly finding new ways to modify bots to infiltrate online businesses and wreak havoc by disrupting the processing of customer transactions, said Neal Quinn, chief operating officer at Prolexic. IPG is another example of the increasing sophistication of DDoS attacks, which reinforces the need for DDoS protection for all e-Commerce providers.

In the case of IPG, the attackers bots picked up the IPG payment processing URL and included it in an attack on multiple merchant sites. At first, IPG mitigated these attacks by blackholing the IP address of the payment form, which had come under attack. However, this meant that a merchant’s ability to process payments ceased immediately, causing serious disruptions in revenue flow and financial losses for their suppliers.

Using more than 20 proprietary and commercial mitigation tools, Prolexic technicians quickly identified two attacks on the payment platform URL. The first was an 8-hour GET Flood, which peaked at 350 Mbps and 380,000 packets-per-second (pps). As that attack was mitigated, the attackers ramped up their efforts, launching a multi-vector attack consisting of a GET Flood, UDP Fragment, and RESET Flood which peaked at 200 Mbps, 50,000 pps and 4.5 million connections per second. This attack lasted for over 3 days before the attackers gave up after every attack signature change was immediately thwarted in real-time by Prolexics technicians.

Today, IPG collaborates with Prolexic to offer merchants a DDoS-protected payment form URL, which IPG manages on behalf of the merchant as part of its service offering. This protection has been put in place for all IPG merchants/customers who have come under DDoS attack to date.

As part of our DDoS protection strategy, IPG is proactively offering the form-based service offering and referring larger merchants to the Prolexic service to protect their front end sites as well, says Alan Conder, chief executive officer at IPG. With DDoS threats becoming more sophisticated, I would suggest to other online businesses to have a pre-planned strategy in place so they have pre-meditated steps they can take to deal with an attack if or when it arises.

Hundreds of change makers are gathering today to meet, listen and learn from acclaimed speakers, best-selling authors, humanitarians, successful entrepreneurs and artists building collective energy and raising money for the famous Yerwood Center, an innovative organization serving Stamfords children and youth since 1934.

The Center, which serves hundreds of children each year, and has changed thousands of lives for the better, will benefit including proceeds from Saks Fifth Avenue shopping (10% of event-related purchases will go directly to the organization, along with donations made through ticket sales and an auction at the event).

The event is the first supported by a new convergence of passionate women business leaders, community leaders, and supporters in Connecticut and across the country as a new center of gravity forms to support innovation in how organizations can more efficiently collaborate to support good works.

The Womens High NETwork (WHN) is creating its headquarters in the new Stamford Innovation Center and is celebrating their new home as part of the WINGS OF CHANGE event today.

Connecticut resident and WHN Co-Founder Donnetta Campbell, who is also founder and Co-Founder of the Barnyard Group (a strategic creative and communications agency headquartered in New York City and opening offices at the StamfordiCenter), said, What a joy it has been to see so many groups come together which such tremendous gifts to make sure the kids and staff at the Yerwood Center have the means to continue and grow. We are truly blessed with some of the most amazing, dynamic speakers and contributors who have donated a tremendous amount of time to organize this coming together of like mind, hearts and spirits. This is a cant-miss event and we plan on building this group into a resource for speakers and authors for non-profits and CSR focused profit corporations!

Osby McMillan, Chairman of the Yerwood Center said, We will be forever grateful to all the individuals and groups who have come together to raise awareness and funds for our programs in such a creative, meaningful way. To celebrate with inspiring stories, and to honor inspiring people, like Laurie Meadoff and Dr. Judy Kuriansky, whose lives have been dedicated to helping children and youth globally, is the perfect way to generate resources that allow us to mentor and support the next generation of inspirational adults.

With governments wavering, Fortune 500 companies re-evaluating the ways they do business and natural resources suffering, said Joy Rose, also a Co-Founder, its truly time to give the girls a chance! This does not mean doing business they way weve been operating for the last hundred years or so. It means setting the bar higher, living smaller and shifting attitudes about wealth to incorporate more generous attitudes. The way we do that is one person at a time.

Dermaflage introduces an acne scar concealer designed specifically for recessed acne scars. For the millions of acne scar sufferers who do not want to go through plastic surgery, chemical peels, or dermabrasion, this is the right solution.

A break-through topical dermal filler, Dermaflage fills scars with a special silicone blend and leaves a second skin that effectively hides deep rolling, box car and ice pick scars caused by acne. Whether you have a few or many scars, Dermaflage Acne Scar Kit will cover them in three easy steps with no injections or surgery. It uses the same medical-grade, FDA-approved silicone ingredients and patent-pending process as the original Dermaflage recessed scar concealer.

Designed for acne scars based on customer feedback, the new system comes with specialized tools that make acne scar applications easier than ever. Each Dermaflage Acne Scar Kit includes a texture pad, a mixing palette, a spatula, and a precision application tool. The new precision tool is ideal for use with smaller and deeper scars that result from acne. The starter kit also contains three shades of the silicone blend so customers can easily match Dermaflage to their skin tone.

Acne scars can be very difficult to hide, said Matt Singer, the former Hollywood special-effects artist who invented Dermaflage. Unlike traditional scar concealers that cover surface blemishes, Dermaflage fills in the scar and does not cake after it is applied. It also moves with your facial muscles and will not crack or peel.

Dermaflage is water and smudge proof and will last for up to 36 hours. The silicone blend is formatted in light, medium, and dark tones and available for African, Asian, Caucasian, and Hispanic complexions. The products unique, translucent materials match virtually any skin tone.

About Dermaflage

Dermaflage is owned by Silicone Arts Laboratories, a new-product development firm that specializes in techniques that enhance physical appearances. The first topical scar filler, Dermaflage is available to the consumer market. It comes with a money-back guarantee for the few who are unsatisfied with its results. Dermaflage is ideal for people who cannot afford plastic surgery or those who do not want to go through the surgical process. It is the most effective cosmetic solution for people who want to cover indented scars with little effort, no surgery, and no injections.

HOLLYWOOD, CA, March 3, 2012 – Mahvrick Networks announced today that veteran actress and 100 Most Beautiful Worldwide List nominee Ion Overman, best-known for her work on “Desperate Housewives”, “The L Word” and her star turn in Tyler Perry’s “Madea Goes To Jail” ($ 58M B.O.), will be the face on billboards and full page magazine campaigns. While working on multiple film and television projects in 2012, Ion will also be the face of campaigns for several brands from nutrition, awareness for charitable efforts (Environmental Conservation, Childhood Obesity, AIDS and Human Rights) and a clothing line for brands that sell millions on line via e-commerce.

Being Eco-friendly and healthy has paid off for actress Ion Overman (http://www.IonOverman.com). Marketing executives have seen her as a bankable brand for client product endorsements. She is known in Hollywood for her industry peer recognition and a loyal fan base. Her blog has several hundred thousand loyal readers from editors of the Huffington Post to People.com. Overman says she is developed a blog to discuss topics that range from fashion to animals with her peers and fans. It also includes her passion for health and wellness – a topic that particularly attracted her to Maryanne Godboldo’s story. Overman says she’ll be doing what she can to help The Justice For Maryanne Godboldo Action Committee. The blog ranks Ion in the top 250 African American owned websites in the US.

Ion was nominated to the 2012, 100 Most Beautiful Worldwide List. Selena Gomez, Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox 1, 2 and 3 on the list. Angelina Jolie, JLo, Madonna, Olivia Wilde, and Ashley Greer were also named to the 2012 List. Ion was noted as “Top 10 Most Beautiful African American Women in the world” and next month will be featured in Jamaica’s Ocean Style Magazine. Ocean Style also has television programming that reaches 44 million homes in the United States. Mariah Carey, Halle Berry, Gabrielle Reece and Mya have been presented on Ocean Style Magazine covers. It is rumored that Elizabeth Hurley on the magazine’s next cover. Ion will launch the Princess Swag a Yoga Bikini Campaign wearing Cristiana Shields (http://www.shieldsjewelry.com) Swarovski Crystal Necklace that provides a portion of its proceeds to Blair Underwood’s AIDS Charities (Blair Underwood, AFH AIDS Clinic). The next issue will feature Elizabeth Hurley’s bathing suit line and a story on Lenny Kravitz. Owner of Ocean Style, Douglas Gordan, has invited Ion and star actor Dale Goldboldo to The Tryall Club, a 2200 acre Private Resort in Jamaica, where he will talk business with the actress and significant other. Dinner for Ion and Douglas’ guests executives of brands that Ion will bank roll with her face and fan base, will be provided by 3 Star Michelin Chef Andy Trousdale.

Recently, Ion Overman has been tapped for several major film and television projects, including a network television series, a movie adapted from a best selling novel, and has recently completed the film “Tunnel Vision” (http://tunnelvisionthemovie.com/), which is expected to be released later this year. We had the opportunity to speak with Overman at an awards banquet held recently by The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a nonprofit mental health watchdog responsible for helping to enact more than 150 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive practices, where Maryanne Godboldo (http://www.justice4maryanne.com) received an award presented by actors Jenna Elfman and Danny Masterson (“That 70′s Show”).

Overman was visibly moved by Masterson’s introduction of a powerful and dramatic video piece on Godboldo’s harrowing fight for custody of her then 9 year-old daughter Ariana, that began with Child Protective Services illegally attempting to remove Ariana from her custody due to Godboldo’s refusal to place her back on powerful psychotropic medication. Before the video was played, Masterson’s introduction ended with his chilling statement; “If the TV footage you are about to see looks like Afghanistan, think again. It’s Detroit.”

Overman stated, “I’m deeply moved by Ms. Godboldo’s story, and honored to have had the chance to meet and spend time with her. I believe strongly that we as citizens have a right to choose whether or not we and our children take prescription medication.”

The Oxygen Network has just announced that they will capture Caroline D’ Amore’s life on a new reality show aptly named, “That’s D’ Amore”. Although still in development, the show will center on Caroline and her two sisters as they attempt to ‘keep it real in a not always so real town’. Refreshingly, her family’s story of rags-to-riches will feature prominently in the backdrop, expounding on the journey from a single struggling pizzeria to eleven highly successful restaurants, the most recent of which just opened in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile shopping district; an amazing feat for a company still family owned and operated. In line with her meteoric rise to international stardom, Caroline’s creative focus is geared toward Hollywood glamour, having made guest appearances on television shows such as, “Entourage” and “90210″, and performing in films including, “Sorority Row”, Daydreamer” and “Pizza with Bullets” which she won a best supporting actress award at The Angeles Film Festival.

Caroline D’ Amore, sanguine artist and vaunted fashionista, is upon the precipice of her greatest venture yet, achieving the revered moniker, international icon. Born and raised in Los Angeles, the accomplished young actress began her career relatively early as a show-stopping New York runway model, striding the catwalk and strutting her stuff for design powerhouses Diane von Furstenberg and Stella McCartney, to name a few. Combine one part love for fashion, one part zeal for design and you have Caroline’s recipe for haute couture swimwear entitled D’ Amore Swim, outpacing the competition at high-end, niche boutiques such as Fred Segal, Dash, and Milk. Capitalizing on her love for fashion, Caroline is currently developing a swimwear line for a big time online retailer which will likely advance the industry for years to come and cement her name firmly into fashion history.

No stranger to success with any industry-specific task she attempts, Caroline has performed and headlined at major events including the InStyle Magazine party at the Rockefeller Center, the Elle Magazine party in Taiwan, and the Heat Festival opening for Steve Aoki. Her most recent single, “Diamonds and Gold”, co-written with Electric Valentine, landed in the hands of DJ Skee on Los Angeles’ principal pop radio station, 102.7 KISS FM. Still considered an indie artist and as of yet unsigned in the U.S., having a single in rotation on the largest radio station in Los Angeles proves that Caroline’s melodic prowess is a media force to be reckoned with. Dj Skee enjoyed the song so much that he invited Caroline into the KISS FM station to promote a show she singlehandedly produced entitled, “Temper Tantrum”, a sold-out eclectic mix of her favorite bands ranging from Anjulie to Hamilton among others.

Beginning nearly eight years ago, her passion for music has paved a path into the ‘record’ books, spinning at preeminent events around the world and previously featured as a Promoted Artist and opening act for megastar Will.I.Am at the MTV Music Awards in Tokyo. If that wasn’t enough to sate the audible appetite of her devoted fan-base, she released two back-to-back DJ albums through Sony Music Entertainment while touring and promoting throughout Japan. An accomplished lyricist, Caroline wrote every word to her critically acclaimed single, reaching the top of Japanese music chart glory. Her professional DJ debut in the U.S. has had a similarly prominent effect on the music scene as she will shortly announce an exclusive DJ residency, the first of its kind for any female DJ, at the hottest new venue in Las Vegas due to her sold-out summer performances at The Light Group pool parties. Electronica superstar DJ Tiesto even made an impromptu guest appearance at Caroline’s most recent Vegas concert after hearing the buzz surrounding this exuberant phenom.

If all that wasn’t enough to occupy her time, Caroline is gearing up for her wedding with rocker Bobby Alt, the co-creator and founder of the world famous franchised drum show, Street Drum Corps, which has just finished a yearlong tour of over 20 countries. Jet-setting and performing together around the globe, Caroline and Bobby have no intentions of slowing down anytime soon, there’s simply just too much to do.

With IT raid into standup, Creative Content and Marketing bureau Raging Artists has teeth a new criterion for drama authorship in ad. Comedy is the performance accumulation form drive hit on YouTube and standup is the steeple of drama penning, said Justo Diaz, CEO/Partner at the authority, which has created successful Web-based run for numerous manner marque and amusement company. On December 6, RA’s III comics will be acting 20-Min set at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank. I teeth putout to do II thing: to confirm our enation as writer in the toughest, most brutal experimentation earth imaginable – standup drama; and to prove to our CCO that he the funniest bozo on the Hesperus, Diaz said. I knew if I could prove it to him, convincing the residuum of the macrocosm would be easy by comparing.

No ad bureau has done this, earning IT band in standup, said Raging Artists CCO/Owner Hesh Rephun. I told Justo Id return onstage under unity status – I deprivation our effort author up there, too. They happened to be him and (CFO/Partner) Ernie Noh. You wouldnt expect a CFO to laughter at your laugh Lashkar-e-Tayyiba alone deliver his own, but RA foster a civilization of bravery. Ernie was a Creative Director on our Recent Honda Experiment, our Chief Technology Officer sits in on creative brainstorming session. I privation every enterprise to testify to the degree of state, holding, and coaction at this institution.

Rephun, Diaz, and Noh – whose phase sobriquet are Hursh, Juicy, and Ernie, respectively – immersed themselves in the vehicle this summertime, playing at open mics, wash-marketing their stuff, competing in (and success) contest, and ultimately being invited to perform in show at several club. All leash have performed at the legendary Ice House in Pasadena and have booked an instrument conflict for January 8, 2012.

The December 6 carnival at Flappers is being produced and hosted by Andy Dugan, and will characteristic deuce-ace additional comedian.

Humor has always been a portion of the Raging Artists framework, explained Diaz, citing wash for agency and brand such as SLAM (Sportie LA Media) and BEARPAW Footwear (for whom RA crafts drama-driven video with celebrity and professional athlete variety Karina Smirnoff, Rick Fox, and Caroline Gleich). The agencys successful Honda Odyssey 2012 Campaign Experiment directed by Tim Damon, uracil witticism to convey the belief that A Family Man is Still a Man, and garnered raves in automotive blog, mommy blog, and ad trade. RA swarm Bandito Brothers BMW Living in the Lights specification to meg of position on YouTube, with massive blower reaction and estate amount. The agencys attempt dominate the former folio of Google for term such as Honda Odyssey Campaign, Sneaker Videos, and BMW M3 Film.

With pedestal-up, we did what we always do, jump in with both ft. We kind to panic ourselves, and for bettor or badness we dont panic easily, Diaz said. Comedy is about hurting, and zilch reflects that fact solon than standup. It is the most visceral connexion a gallery tin have with an actor, which is wherefore there is a confidence want in the advertizing manufacture for comic to be marketer and for trafficker to be comic. But the deuce creation havent really seed together until nowadays.

Ultimately, this demonstrates to our newsroom and our client that through our unique expertness the potentiality for marque-chewer relationship tin be realized, said Noh. Regarding the standup familiarisation, he added, In ghetto, I dont vocalize my view about dejeuner, much less faith or contest, so it’s very physic to do so onstage.

In improver to upping the stake for drama run, Raging Artists phase stuff has spawned an animated Stations called Holy Smokes, currently in progress with an awarding-success life institution that, likewise, is known for drama. Noh would not reveal item, other than to opportunity that Holy Smokes is not the effort fair for peoples determined to slumber through ghetto enveloped in the warm cover of dogma.

Im very proud of our institution and IT leading, Rephun added. For pattern, fully functional homo beings to write for a live gallery, then return up there – and destroy an area – thats ass amazing to me. If youre a hot offspring author and you neediness an occupation with Raging Artists, return your angstrom up onstage. Then excavation talking.
