Yandex is battling the largest DDoS in Russian Internet history
2021-09-09 06:26

Russian internet giant Yandex has been targeted in a massive distributed denial-of-service attack that started last week and reportedly continues this week.

A report in Russian media says that the assault is the largest in the short history of the Russian internet, the RuNet, and that it was confirmed by a U.S.-based company.

There are no details about the type of DDoS or its size but the Russian publication is saying that Cloudflare web infrastructure security company confirmed the "Record scale of the cyberattack."

To note, Yandex in partnership with Qrator Labs provides its customers a DDoS protection service for cloud resources.

The Russian publication says that a Yandex spokesperson confirmed the DDoS attack and that the company's network infrastructure managed to filter the unwanted requests, resulting in no impact on provided services or user data.

Two of the largest DDoS attacks publicly reported are a 2.3Tbps detected by Amazon Web Services Shield in the first quarter of 2020 and a 17 million requests per second assault mitigated by Cloudflare in July this year.
