Cloudflare vs. AISURU: The Epic Battle Against a 29.7 Tbps DDoS Attack!
Cloudflare has thwarted the biggest DDoS attack ever recorded at 29.7 Tbps, courtesy of the AISURU botnet. This digital hurricane lasted 69 seconds, targeting 15,000 destination ports per second. As DDoS attacks skyrocket, Cloudflare stays on its toes, ready to fend off these virtual tsunamis with the grace of a cat on a Roomba.
Hot Take:
Cloudflare just pulled off the cybersecurity equivalent of swatting a fly with a sledgehammer. While the AISURU botnet might have come ready to rumble with its 29.7 Tbps attack, Cloudflare served a quick 69-second eviction notice. It’s like a scene from a superhero movie, where the villain unleashes chaos, and the hero responds with a single punch. Perhaps we should call this new superhero “The DDoS Whisperer.”
Key Points:
- Cloudflare mitigated a record-breaking 29.7 Tbps DDoS attack from the AISURU botnet.
- The attack targeted 15,000 destination ports per second in a bid to bypass defenses.
