Cloudflare’s latest DDoS trends report claims it mitigated 21.3 million attacks in 2024 (53% YoY), including a record 5.6 Tbps, 80-second Mirai-variant assault against an ISP in East Asia; in Q4 alone it blocked 6.9 million attacks with a sharp rise in hyper‑volumetric events (>1 Tbps and >1 Bpps) split roughly evenly between L3/4 and HTTP floods. Most victims couldn’t attribute the source, though many suspected competitors, and ransom‑linked DDoS affected 12% of targeted customers; the majority of HTTP attacks ended within 10 minutes, emphasizing the need for automated mitigation.
