The latest Gcore Radar report analyzing attack data from Q1–Q2 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

Darktrace researchers have uncovered ShadowV2, a new botnet that operates as a DDoS-for-hire service by infecting misconfigured Docker containers on AWS cloud servers.

Cloudflare stopped a record 22.2 Tbps DDoS attack, showing how massive these threats have become and why strong DDoS attack protection is essential.

The for-hire platform leverages legitimate cloud-native tools to make detection and disruption harder for defenders and SOC analysts.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new botnet that customers can rent access to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against targets of interest. The ShadowV2 botnet, according to Darktrace, predominantly targets misconfigured Docker containers on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud servers to deploy a Go-based malware that turns infected systems into attack nodes

The security landscape now moves at a pace no patch cycle can match. Attackers aren’t waiting for quarterly updates or monthly fixes—they adapt within hours, blending fresh techniques with old, forgotten flaws to create new openings. A vulnerability closed yesterday can become the blueprint for tomorrow’s breach. This week’s recap explores the trends driving that constant churn: how threat

In a world where threats are persistent, the modern CISO’s real job isn't just to secure technology—it's to preserve institutional trust and ensure business continuity. This week, we saw a clear pattern: adversaries are targeting the complex relationships that hold businesses together, from supply chains to strategic partnerships. With new regulations and the rise of AI-driven attacks, the

Qrator Labs blocked a record L7 DDoS attack from a 5.76M-device botnet targeting government systems, showing rapid global growth since March.

In May 2025, the European Union levied financial sanctions on the owners of Stark Industries Solutions Ltd., a bulletproof hosting provider that materialized two weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine and quickly became a top source of Kremlin-linked cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns. But new data shows those sanctions have done little to stop Stark from simply rebranding and transferring their assets to other corporate entities controlled by its original hosting providers.
