A few months later in April, Imperva reported an even larger PPS attack on another client that surpassed the January record - the newest attack peaked at 580 million PPS.īut wait measuring an attack in terms of the amount of bandwidth used is not the same as measuring the intensity of an attack concerning the number of packets that are unleashed per second, and vice versa. This undesirable recognition was awarded to an unnamed client of Imperva, which experienced a DDoS attack in which 500 million packets per second (PPS) were directed at their network or website. In January 2019, Imperva announced a new contender for the title - although they were looking at DDoS attacks from a slightly different angle. (Attackers used a method known as memcaching - more on that later.) It was preceded by GitHub, which sustained a 1.35 Tbps attack in 2018 - a one-two punch that was delivered without the help of a botnet. Previously, Amazon Web Services (AWS) was recognized as holding the reigning title for defending against a colossal 2.3 -terabit-per-second (Tbps) distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack! At the time (February 2020), this made Amazon attack the biggest reported DDoS attack in history. Considering that Cloudflare reports that they served “over 25 million HTTP requests per second on average” in Q2 2021, that gives you an idea of the sheer scale of this attack. Cloudflare reported in June 2022 that its services detected and halted a massive distributed denial of service attack in action that topped 26 million requests per second. Move aside, Amazon and GitHub - there’s a new DDoS attack that holds the heavyweight title of being the largest DDoS attack in history. This is just the latest in a string of massive botnet-induced attacks targeting service providers In Beyond Hashed Out, Hashing Out Cyber Security The latest record-breaking distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack peaked at 26 million requests per second (RPS) this past June.
