Russia?s largest ISP says 2022 broke all DDoS attack records

Russia's largest internet service provider Rostelecom says 2022 was a record year for Distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) targeting organizations in the country. DDoS attacks are cyberattacks aimed at making an internet-connected website or service unavailable by overwhelming it with many requests that deplete the server's ability to accept new connections, causing the service to become unresponsive. Hacktivists have used DDoS attacks on both sides of the Ukraine-Russian conflict to disrupt critical services, usually as retaliation for actions or announcements made concerning the ongoing war. In a report published today, Rostelecom says its experts recorded 21.5 million critical web attacks aimed at roughly 600 Russian organizations from various industries, including telecom, retail, financial, and the public sector. The most powerful DDoS attack recorded by Rostelecom was 760 GB/sec, almost twice as big as the most potent attack of the previous year, while the longest DDoS lasted nearly three months.
