DDoS attacks were at all-time high in Q1 2022 due to war in Ukraine.
Kaspersky recently released findings that the number of DDoS attacks are the most frequent they have ever been and dwarf the rate of DDoS attacks from just a year prior.
According to the cybersecurity company, the total number of attacks from Q1 of 2022 were four-and-a-half times higher than that of Q1 of 2021.
"In Q1 2022 we witnessed an all-time high number of DDoS attacks," said Alexander Gutnikov, a security expert at Kaspersky.
The busiest day for DDoS attacks and cyber criminals by the numbers was January 19th, when Kaspersky recorded 2,250 DDoS attacks on that day alone.
