Link11 Releases European Cyber Report 2026: DDoS Attacks Become a Constant Threat

**Link11 European Cyber Report 2026:** The report documents a sharp rise in DDoS activity in 2025 — including terabit-scale attacks (up to 1.33 Tbit/s), a coordinated series totaling 509 TB, and the longest observed single attack lasting 12,388 minutes — and describes a shift toward persistent, hybrid campaigns (high-volume + low-and-slow and Layer 7/application-level tactics) that make DDoS a continuous strategic risk; it recommends always-on DDoS protection, WAAP for web/API protection, and automated AI-driven detection and mitigation, and urges integration of DDoS scenarios into business continuity planning.
