The NETSCOUT DDoS Threat Intelligence Report (Issue 15: Digital Aftershocks) analyzes global distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack activity and trends, revealing that more than 8 million DDoS attacks were recorded worldwide in the first half of 2025, with peak attacks reaching 3.12 Tbps in bandwidth and 1.5 Gpps in throughput. It highlights how geopolitical events and coordinated campaigns by groups like NoName057(16) have driven spikes in attack volume, while botnet-driven and DDoS-as-a-service threats are increasing in sophistication, duration, and impact. The report also shows emerging threat actors expanding the threat landscape and emphasizes regional variations and the collateral damage DDoS attacks can inflict on service providers and critical infrastructure sectors.
