DDoS attacks have become more powerful and complex compared to previous years. At the same time, we are seeing an increase in the duration of DDoS attacks. The increasing duration, complexity, and scale of DDoS attacks fit into a trend that has been ongoing for several years. In 2018 and 2019, we recorded 938 and 919 attacks respectively. In 2020, that number rose to a staggering 1,610. This represents a significant increase in the number of attacks in just one year.
This trend continues this year as well. In the first quarter of 2021, we have already observed more attacks than in half of 2020, with the most powerful attack having a magnitude of 300 Gbps.
