High-Capacity DDoS Attacks Surge 1,286% in 1H 2026 NETSCOUT's first-half 2026 DDoS Threat Intelligence Report reveals a staggering 1,286% increase in high-capacity DDoS attacks exceeding 1Tbps or 1Gpps, with over 9.1 million attacks recorded globally across 209 countries. The report indicates that these high-capacity events are now routine, driven by the rise of DDoS-for-hire services and weaponized residential proxies. Key findings include a significant increase in IPv6 attacks, with the first recorded attack surpassing 1Tbps. The report emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt more sophisticated mitigation strategies to combat evolving attack methods. Direct-path attack methods accounted for 64% of observed attacks, highlighting the pressure on carrier mitigation systems. The rise of short, rate-based attacks is stressing application backends and connection tables, necessitating urgent defensive measures. 8 sources 70
