    The F5 Labs 2024 DDoS Attack Trends report presents a comprehensive analysis of the current threat landscape, highlighting several critical developments. One of the most notable trends is the significant rise in hacktivism, where politically and socially motivated groups increasingly utilize DDoS attacks to further their causes. This surge is attributed to the growing accessibility of DDoS-for-hire services and the heightened global political tensions. The report details how these attacks are often coordinated to coincide with significant political events or controversies, amplifying their impact and visibility. Additionally, the report underscores the increasing complexity of these attacks, which often combine multiple vectors to overwhelm defenses and evade detection. As more devices become interconnected, they provide new entry points for attackers to exploit. The analysis reveals a marked increase in DDoS attacks targeting IoT devices, which are often inadequately secured, making them prime targets for botnet recruitment. The report provides strategic insights into mitigating these risks, including recommendations for enhancing security postures through advanced threat detection and response mechanisms, improved IoT security protocols, and robust API management practices. For organizations seeking to stay ahead of these evolving threats, the report is an invaluable resource, offering detailed guidance on fortifying defenses against increasingly sophisticated DDoS attacks.

    Distributed denial of service (#DDoS) attacks continue to present a major #cybersecurity challenge—with attackers shifting to ever more sophisticated approaches. By overwhelming a website or online service with large volumes of traffic from multiple sources, attackers try to shut down a company’s digital operations, damaging their revenue and their brand. And a recent F5 report shows attackers are exploiting vulnerable Internet of Things (#IoT) devices to build malicious #bots used for DDoS attacks. Specifically, our research found that cybercriminals are leveraging vulnerable Netgear routers and TP-Link to expand their DDoS attacks. To defend themselves, we recommend that companies with vulnerable devices patch against these security flaws. To learn more about this trend and how you can protect yourself, read our recent F5 Labs report. https://go.f5.net/15qo5ou6
