Google blocks biggest denial-of-service attack ever reported

Google blocked a series of HTTPS distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks peaking at 46 million requests per second on 1 June.

“This is the largest Layer 7 DDoS reported to date — at least 76% larger than the previously reported record,” Google said.

Too bad we can't find the culprits and cut their limbs off.

That and their enablers

Thanks Google!

I think that is my reaction when I get a Teams message.

That and a "Oh ffs what do people need now"

What was the target?

A good question considering that it was "layer 7". I hope that the target had something better than standard Google Cloud Armour.
