"Average Bandwidth of DDoS Attacks Increasing, APIs and Applications Under Attack"
Researchers at Link11 have discovered that the volume and complexity of DDoS attacks continued to grow in the Q1 of 2020. The number of high-volume DDoS attacks in Q1 of 2020 increased with 51 attacks over 50 Gbps. In Q1 of 2020, the maximum bandwidth nearly doubled in comparison to 2019. The largest DDoS attack stopped was 406 Gbps in Q1 of 2020, but in Q1 of 2019, the maximum bandwidth peaked at 224 Gbps. DDoS attackers are increasingly abusing public cloud services. 47 percent of all DDoS attacks in Q1 of 2020 used public cloud server-based botnets, compared to 31 percent in the previous year.
