Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks saw a significant increase during the first quarter of 2024, with one European country being particularly badly hit, new research has claimed.
The DDoS threat report for 2024 Q1 from Cloudflare found the company's automated defenses mitigated 4.5 million DDoS attacks in the first three months of the year, roughly a third of all attacks mitigated last year. Or, to put it in perspective - this is a 50% increase compared to the same period last year.
