BleepingComputer reports that distributed denial-of-service attack sizes have increased since 2023, peaking at 840 million packets per second in April, the highest on record, amid persistently elevated bit rates and packet rates during the past year and a half. Such a record-breaking DDoS intrusion stemmed from 5,000 source IPs, with most packets originating from U.S.-based MiktroTik Cloud Core Routers, particularly the CCR1036-8G-2S+ and CCR1072-1G-8S+ models, according to a report from OVHcloud, which discovered and averted the attack.
