There have been significant shifts in DDoS attack patterns in the first half of 2020, a Neustar report reveals. There has been a 151% increase in the number of DDoS attacks compared to the same period in 2019. These included the largest and longest attacks that Neustar has ever mitigated at 1.17 Terabits-per-second (Tbps) and 5 days and 18 hours respectively.
These figures are representative of the growing number, volume and intensity of network-type cyberattacks as organizations shifted to remote operations and workers’ reliance on the internet increased.
