"Cloudflare Sees Surge in Hyper-Volumetric HTTP DDoS Attacks"

Cloudflare reports that the number of hyper-volumetric HTTP Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks recorded in the third quarter of 2023 exceeds all previous years. A report from Cloudflare reveals that during the third quarter of 2023, the Internet company mitigated thousands of hyper-volumetric HTTP DDoS attacks. More than 89 of these attacks surpassed 100 million requests per second (rps). The largest attack peaked at 201 million rps, three times larger than the previous record in February 2023. These attacks stem from the use of a new technique known as HTTP/2 Rapid Reset, which threat actors have exploited since August 2023.
