Measured in bits, the largest attack exceeded <strong>203.44 Gbps<\/strong>. The largest attack, measured in packets per second, consisted of <strong>102.66 Mpps<\/strong> (million packets per second).<\/p><p>In addition to an increase in the size of attacks, NaWas mitigated an increasing number of attacks comprising multiple complex vectors. These multi-vector attacks dominate the top five attacks recorded in Q2. Furthermore, we are seeing an increase in botnet-driven DDoS attacks, and the infrastructure behind the botnets appears to be highly resilient. When a large botnet is disrupted, other Mirai-derived botnets take over the traffic relatively quickly.<\/p><p><strong>Click the button below to download the infographic for further figures and analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6218e5f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6218e5f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dceda1d elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"dceda1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbip.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/NBIP\u2014DDoS-infographic-Q2-2026\u2014EN.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-file-download\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M224 136V0H24C10.7 0 0 10.7 0 24v464c0 13.3 10.7 24 24 24h336c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V160H248c-13.2 0-24-10.8-24-24zm76.45 211.36l-96.42 95.7c-6.65 6.61-17.39 6.61-24.04 0l-96.42-95.7C73.42 337.29 80.54 320 94.82 320H160v-80c0-8.84 7.16-16 16-16h32c8.84 0 16 7.16 16 16v80h65.18c14.28 0 21.4 17.29 11.27 27.36zM377 105L279.1 7c-4.5-4.5-10.6-7-17-7H256v128h128v-6.1c0-6.3-2.5-12.4-7-16.9z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Download Infographic<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NaWas DDoS mitigation service protects digital infrastructure and digital service providers against DDoS attacks and provides insight into evolving DDoS trends.
