📰 INDUSTRY NEWS

👏 Just 2 months ago, Cloudflare stopped the most powerful DDoS attack in internet history.

29.7 Tbps. 14.1 billion packets per second.

And you know what's terrifying?

⏳The attack lasted only 69 seconds. In just over a minute, attackers transmitted 37.4 TB of data - that's like streaming 9,350 HD movies simultaneously.

Who attacked:
Aisuru - a botnet of 1-4 million infected devices worldwide. In Q3 2025, they launched an average of 14 attacks >1 Tbps every single day.

😨 The scariest part:
The traffic was so massive it crashed part of the US internet infrastructure. And US providers weren't even the target - they just happened to be in the path of the traffic.

💀 And here's what's truly frightening:
Chunks of this botnet are sold as a service for $2,000-$3,000. Anyone can buy an attack capable of taking down a nation's critical infrastructure.

🍷 Welcome to the new reality. Where for a couple thousand dollars, you can crash an entire country's backbone.
