Cloudflare has reduced a distributed Daniel-Off-Service (DDOS) attack, which has reached a record-breaking 22.2 terabites per second (TBPS) and 10.6 billion packets per second (BPPS).
The DDOS attacks usually eliminate either system or network resources, aimed at slowing services or unavailable to legitimate users.
Record-Breaking DDOS attacks are becoming more frequent, as three weeks ago, Claudflare revealed that it reduced the 11.5 TBPS and 5.1 BPPS attack on a large scale, at that time the largest announcement was made at that time.
Two months before that, the company settled another Ecord attack which reached 7.3 TBPS. In April, the Internet giant warned that it was dealing with the record number of DDOS attacks this year.
The latest DDOS phenomenon, Volumentric also lasted for 40 seconds and the largest ever.

Despite the period of low attack, the amount of traffic directed on the victim was equivalent to a million 4K video streaming simultaneously.
The packet rate of 10.6 BPP can be translated to about 1.3 web page, which is per second per person on the planet.
Large amounts of packets make it particularly difficult for firewalls, routers and load bilesers, even if the total bandwidth is manageable, even if processed the requests.
Although Cloudflare has not shared several details about the last two DDOs attacks, the XLB Research Division at Chinese Cyber Security Company Qi’anxin blamed the 11.5 TB DDOS attack. Asuru botnet,
According to the researchers, AISURU has infected over 300,000 equipment worldwide, a sudden increase in April 2025 after a Totolink router firmware updated server agreement.
Botnet also targets T-Mobile, Zyxel, D-Link and Links from IP cameras, DVRS/NVRS, realtech chips and weaknesses in the router.
The passwords broke in 46% of the atmosphere, almost doubled by 25% last year.
