With just 30,000 bots, hackers managed to launch the larger DDoSattack ever recorded, the latest in an ever-growing challenge to content delivery networks.
Hackers launched a record-breaking distributed denial of service attack over the weekend, employing a network of botnets to make requests from over 30,000 IP addresses.
Last year’s DDoS attack persisted for over an hour, and Google Cloud Armor identified more than 5,000 IP addresses from 132 countries. The attack reported by CloudFlare was similar in that a small number of IP addresses pushed a massive number of requests to servers ranging from 50 million to 71 million rps.
With readily available hacking services becoming cheap and accessible, the pressure is on to meet this challenge with stronger protections. HTTP DDoS attacks have increased by 79% year-over-year and volumetric attacks such as the recent record-setting barrage has grown by 67% in the last quarter.
