Cloudflare, Inc. has released its Q4 2025 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) report, highlighting a record-breaking attack that reached 31.4 terabits per second (Tbps). This marks the highest volume attack recorded by the company to date. The report also details a year marked by a significant increase in the frequency and scale of DDoS attacks globally.
The findings emphasize ongoing challenges in cybersecurity as threat actors continue to deploy increasingly powerful and complex DDoS campaigns. Cloudflare’s data underscores the importance of robust defense mechanisms to protect internet infrastructure and maintain service availability.
**Why this matters**
The rise in large-scale DDoS attacks poses risks to businesses, governments, and internet users by disrupting online services and causing financial and reputational damage. Understanding these trends helps organizations prepare and strengthen their cybersecurity strategies to mitigate potential impacts.
