The Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) landscape is everchanging. In the first half of 2024, large surges in attack frequency were noted, notably in geopolitical conflicts, driving never-before-seen stresses on networks worldwide and leading to more sophisticated attacks than ever before. DDoS-capable botnets are evolving and growing, with a notable increase in bot-infected devices. Critical infrastructure, such as banking, financial services, and public utilities, are prime targets, seeing a massive wave of attacks targeting them. The 13th issue of NETSCOUT’s global DDoS Threat Intelligence Report covers this and much more to help inform on the latest DDoS threats.
