DDoS threat report for 2023 Q2

Cloudflare released its Q1 2023 DDoS Threat Report, which provides insights on the evolving threat landscape and trends in Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks during the first quarter of this year. Key findings include a surge in network-layer attack size and duration, with an increase in volumetric attacks that exceeded 100 Gbps or lasted more than three hours. Application-layer attacks accounted for nearly half of all DDoS attempts, targeting financial services (27%) and gaming industries the most. Ransom-driven DDoS (RDDoS) threats decreased slightly, with only one in ten respondents reporting being threatened or subject to such attacks during Q1 2023. The report highlights the importance of having multi-layered defenses against ever-evolving and increasingly complex DDoS attack methods.
