Cloudflare observed a significant increase in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on political and election-related sites, with over 6 billion malicious HTTP requests blocked between October 31 and November 1. However, these attacks resulted in no significant disruption due to planning and proactive defenses. Internet traffic in the US increased on Election Day, with a 15% rise compared to the previous week, peaking after the first polls closed. DNS traffic for news outlets, polling services, and election-related websites also saw large increases, with peaks of up to 756% and 325% respectively. Email phishing trends showed a notable increase in emails mentioning candidates Trump and Harris, but at lower rates of spam and malicious emails compared to previous periods. Despite the rise in online attacks, Cloudflare's efforts to secure election infrastructure were deemed successful by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
