Tech company ‘responsible’ for worldwide outage in November says it stopped ‘largest hacking ever disclosed publicly’
Cloudflare has successfully defended against the largest publicly disclosed DDoS attack, a 'hyper-volumetric' bombardment by the Aisuru/Kimwolf botnet peaking at 31.4 Tbps. The 'Night Before Christmas' campaign, originating from compromised Android TVs, targeted various organizations including Cloudflare's own infrastructure. Automated systems detected and mitigated these intense, short-lived attacks without human intervention.
