Corero's study emphasises the need for proactive DDoS protection due to the evolving threat landscape, with DDoS threats continuing to grow in both volume and sophistication.\nKey report findings:\n· 300% increase in carpet bomb attacks in 2022 compared to 2021. Legacy detection techniques often fail to accurately identify these attacks, leading to incomplete mitigation or false positives.\n· Over seven times as many Mirai-like DDoS attacks in 2022 than in 2021. These botnet attacks are difficult to mitigate and can cause significant damage to businesses.\n· DDoS attacks targeting Domain Name System (\"DNS\") services doubled from 2020 to 2022. This attack vector has grown in popularity as an easy way for attackers to disrupt communications to and from websites, internet-connected devices, and applications.\n \nDownload the full 2023 DDOS Threat Intelligence Report at https://corero.com/threat.\n \nAshley Stephenson, Chief Technology Officer of Corero, commented:\n\"We're witnessing significant changes in the global DDoS attack landscape, with increased attack volume, frequency, and variation.
