Cloudflare has claimed to have recently mitigated the biggest Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack in history.
The goal is to exhaust the resources of the target system, making it unavailable to legitimate users.
Of all the attacks, one stood out - when it peaked at 3.8 Tbps.
This is, according to Cloudflare, the largest ever disclosed publicly by any organization.
It predominantly leveraged UDP on a fixed port, the company said, and originated from across the globe.
Detection and mitigation was all automatic, Cloudflare says.
