"DDoS Attack Power Skyrockets to 1.6 Tbps"

According to Gcore, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack trends for the second half of 2023 reveal alarming increases in scale and sophistication. The maximum attack power increased from 800 Gbps to 1.6 Tbps. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) floods dominate, making up 62 percent of DDoS attacks. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) floods and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) attacks continue to be popular, comprising 16 percent and 12 percent of total activity, respectively. All other DDoS attack types, including SYN, SYN+ACK flood, and RST Flood, made up for only 10 percent. Although some attackers may use these more sophisticated methods, most remain focused on delivering sheer packet volume to bring servers down. This article continues to discuss key findings regarding the rise in DDoS attacks.
