Sharp Increase in DDOS Attacks Highlighted in Third Quarter of 2023
In the third quarter of 2023, there has been a notable rise in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks, with particular emphasis on attacks of a specific type.
These attacks, referred to as [insert name of attack type], involve hackers flooding a targeted system with a high volume of bogus or useless User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets. By exploiting the nature of the UDP protocol, which does not require confirmation of packet receipt, the attackers successfully overwhelm the server’s processing capabilities.
This relentless flood of UDP packets consumes significant server resources, potentially leading to overload and system failure. As a result, UDP-Flood attacks have emerged as an effective method for disrupting both Internet resources and network services.
