Aug 7, 2019 - Kaspersky : Summertime and the DDoS is easy: Q2 saw 18% rise in attacks compared to last year
In the second quarter of 2019, the total number of DDoS attacks grew by 18%, compared to the same period in 2018. Application-layer attacks, which are more difficult to organize and protect against, showed significant growth – increasing in quantity by a third (32%) compared with Q2 2018. As a result, they now constitute almost half (46%) of all attacks prevented by Kaspersky DDoS Protection.
"Traditionally, troublemakers who conduct DDoS attacks for fun go on holiday during the summer and give up their activity until September. However, the statistics for this quarter show that professional attackers, who perform complex DDoS attacks, are working hard even over the summer months. This trend is rather worrying for businesses," comments Alexey Kiselev, Business Development Manager on the Kaspersky DDoS Protection team.
