DDOS Protection Provider in Europe was targeted with an attack at 1.5 billion packages/seconds

A DDOS reduction provider operating in Europe has been targeted with one of the largest package -based attacks on the public so far.

The attack was carried out through IoT devices and microtic routers seized from more than 11 thousand different networks worldwide.

While the name of the targeted customer was not announced, it was stated that the institution in question was a “DDOS Scrubing” provider using methods such as package control, speed limitation, captcha and anomaly detection to filter DDOS traffic.

The incident took place after Cloudflare announced that it had stopped the world's largest DDOS attack at 11.5 TBPS bandwidth and 5.1 billion packets/seconds.

Fastnetmon Founder Pavel Odintsov stressed that the remarkable aspect of the attack is the abuse of daily network devices in large -scale attacks.
