They are always just big enough to disrupt a server. In addition, DDoS attacks vary more and more, they constantly change composition or type. This makes them difficult to combat,&#8221; says Octavia de Weerdt, general manager of NBIP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This also continues the trend of last year, when it appeared that DDoS attacks are becoming <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbip.nl\/en\/2018\/05\/16\/nbip-ddos-data-report-2017-now-available\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increasingly complex and cunning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New conclusions this year:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Attacks last longer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DDoS attacks last a little longer. The NBIP has observed a shift to attacks just over fifteen minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Mature threat<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, NBIP has seen the number of DDoS attacks rise again in 2018, from 826 to 938 &#8211; an increase of 13.6%. The number of types of attacks also rose from 46 to 56. The ongoing change and complexity show that DDoS attacks have become a mature threat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>New leader<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, DNS amplification was still the most common DDoS attack. In 2018, this was LDAP amplification. In 2017, this type of attack was still at number 6 with a share of 7.16%. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This shows even how much action you take against a DDoS attack or a specific type of attack (DNS amplification), there are always other targets that come to the surface. Cyber criminals continue to try and exploit weaknesses in systems,&#8221; says De Weerdt. <\/span>[contact-form-7 id=&#8221;47249&#8243; title=&#8221;EN &#8211; Nieuwsbrief + Informatie Anti-DDoS&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DDoS attacks last longer and continue to evolve No one is surprised of a DDoS attack any more.
