Barbarians at the Gate(way)
summary
Platform logs show 97–99% of observed DDoS traffic is infrastructure‑based, web attacks still put SQL injection at the top of lists, Q2 data attributes ~25% of web attack sources to Brazil while targets remain chiefly US retail, extortion campaigns demand small sums (roughly $115–$150) or threaten large volumes, botnets like Mirai botnet and cheap SaaS booters deliver massive or sustained traffic, simple tools such as Donut, LOIC/HOIC and wget automate attacks, and default credentials plus unpatched services enable terabit‑scale assaults — patch systems, remove defaults and fix SQLi.
