Cloudflare announced today that it blocked a record-setting distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, which bombarded its target with 11.5 Tbps of traffic for approximately 35 seconds.
"Cloudflare's defenses have been working overtime," the company said in an X post. "Over the past few weeks, we've autonomously blocked hundreds of hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks, with the largest reaching peaks of 5.1 Bpps and 11.5 Tbps. The 11.5 Tbps attack was a UDP flood that mainly came from Google Cloud."
