"The latest Gcore Radar report analyzing attack data from Q1Q2 2025, reveals a 41% year-on-year increase in total attack volume. The largest attack peaked at 2.2 Tbps, surpassing the 2 Tbps record in late 2024. Attacks are growing not only in scale but in sophistication, with longer durations, multi-layered strategies, and a shift in target industries. Technology now overtakes gaming as the most attacked sector, while the financial services industry continues to face heightened risks. Key takeaways: the evolving DDoS landscape"
"Attack volumes are rising. Total attacks climbed from 969,000 in H2 2024 to 1.17 million in H1 2025, a 21% increase over the previous two quarters and 41% YoY growth. Attack size continues to grow. The peak attack of 2.2 Tbps demonstrates the increasing scale and destructive potential of modern DDoS campaigns. Attacks are becoming longer and more sophisticated. Extended durations and multi-layered tactics allow threat actors to bypass defenses and maximize disruption."
Total DDoS attacks reached 1.17 million in H1 2025, up 21% from H2 2024 and 41% year-on-year. The largest observed attack peaked at 2.2 Tbps, exceeding the 2 Tbps record from late 2024. Attack campaigns are increasing in duration and employing multi-layered, multi-vector tactics to evade mitigation and amplify disruption. Application-layer assaults targeting web applications and APIs now represent 38% of attacks, up from 28% in Q3Q4 2024. Technology surpassed gaming as the most targeted sector, while financial services face escalating risk. Growth drivers include affordable DDoS-for-hire services, vulnerable IoT botnets, geopolitical tensions, and advanced techniques.
