Cloudflare just stopped the largest DDoS attack ever
Cloudflare just stopped the largest DDoS attack ever — a 29.7 Tbps strike from the AISURU botnet that used up to 4 million hacked devices.
It hit 15,000 ports every second for 69 seconds before being blocked.
Cloudflare on Wednesday said it detected and mitigated the largest ever distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that measured at 29.7 terabits per second (Tbps).
The activity, the web infrastructure and security company said, originated from a DDoS botnet-for-hire known as AISURU, which has been linked to a number of hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks over the past year. The attack lasted for 69 seconds. It did not disclose the target of the attack. ....

I can do bigger.
Naughty Cloudflare.

Slam it.
From private sources, this happened back in September, just was never publicly confirmed until that blog post.

Replace Wind with DDOS
I click the wrong button sorry
Cloudflare is down now, so they stopped one customer going down, but they made all their customers go down so why are we using them again?
Has attacking websites become cheap and easy? The number is truly staggering. These days, only large providers, the giants, can handle these attacks; nothing like average infrastructure. For most companies, without an external mitigation service, such an attack would simply be impossible to withstand.
If it lasted 69 seconds it hardly seems worth the effort for me. Sure if it's financial or something it might have some impact, but for just a regular website most people would probably just wait a few minutes and try again if they got a failed connection on a website.
Kimwolf botnet in action?
