"OVHcloud Sees Record 840 Mpps DDoS Attack"

The cloud provider OVHcloud mitigated the largest Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack in terms of packet rate. Packet rate DDoS attacks overload the processing engines of networking devices near the target, bringing down infrastructure like anti-DDoS systems. OVHcloud says packet rate DDoS attacks are effective because their mitigation requires dealing with many small packets, which is harder than dealing with fewer, larger packets. The largest packet rate attack was recorded in April at 840 Mpps, breaking the 2021 record of 809 Mpps. This article continues to discuss OVHcloud's mitigation of the largest-ever DDoS attack and the overall increase in DDoS attack intensity.
