Security News > 2020 > June > Complexity and size of DDoS attacks have increased
The complexity and size of DDoS attacks in 2019 has increased significantly compared to 2018.
A report published by NaWas by NBIP concludes that despite the number of attacks has decreased slightly over 2019, their complexity and size has increased significantly.
"However, attacks are becoming larger and more complex, says Octavia de Weerdt, managing director of NBIP."The largest attack we observed in 2019 was 124 Gbps. The most complex attack used 30 vectors, i.e. 30 different methods to carry out a DDoS attack were combined into a single attack.
The increasing complexity and size of DDoS attacks fits in with a trend that has been going on for several years.
In the first quarter of 2020, we already observed a DDoS attack of 140 Gbps, and we have seen as many very large attacks of 40 Gbps or more as in the whole of 2019″.".
