Threat Score
Cloudflare's Q4/2025 DDoS report documents a dramatic rise in traffic-flood attacks—47.1 million for the year and a record 31.4 Tbps event—driven by botnets such as Aisuru-Kimwolf (largely Android TV–infected devices) and by abuse of cloud VMs; attackers are shifting to very short, extremely high-rate "smash-and-dash" floods that target telecoms, IT service providers, gaming sites, and specific regions (notably the UK), prompting reliance on autonomous, real-time mitigation systems.
