Web performance and security firm Cloudflare recently mitigated another record-breaking DDoS attack.
According to Matthew Prince, the company’s CEO, the attack peaked at 3.8 terabits per second (Tbps) and 2.14 billion packets per second (Pps). The attack was aimed at an unidentified customer of an unnamed hosting provider that uses Cloudflare services.
To put the numbers into context, the previous volumetric DDoS record was set in late 2021, when Microsoft saw an attack that peaked at 3.47 Tbps and a packet rate of 340 million Pps. The biggest attack previously seen by Cloudflare peaked at 2.6 Tbps.
