There had been “thousands” of hyper-volumetric HTTP distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in the time since the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset vulnerability was disclosed, a new report from Cloudflare has claimed, adding that 89 of those exceeded 100 million requests per second (rps).
Thanks to these attacks, the total amount of HTTP DDoS attacks for the third quarter of the year, compared to Q2, was up 65%, the company added. “Similarly, L3/4 DDoS attacks also increased by 14%,” it added.
