Tuesday 22 November 2016 00:05 CET | News

Oracle has announced that it will acquire Dynamic Network Services, or Dyn, a web traffic management company recently hit with a cyber-attack that closed off the internet to millions of users.

The business software and hardware company did not disclose financial terms of the deal, but has planned to enhance its own offerings with Dyns expertise in monitoring, controlling, and optimizing cloud-based internet applications and managing online traffic.

Dyn has more than 3,500 customers including Netflix, Twitter, and CNBC, making tens of billions of online traffic optimizing decisions daily, according to Oracle. In October 2016 Dyn was the target of cyber-attacks that pounded the underpinnings of the internet, crippling Twitter, Netflix and other major websites with the help of once-dumb devices made smart with online connections.
