Cloudflare Reports 18.2 Million Network-Layer DDoS Attacks in Q3, Up 38%
Cloudflare mitigated 18.2 million network-layer distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in Q3 2026, representing a 38 percent increase from the prior period. The company also blocked 14.4 trillion HTTP DDoS requests during the same quarter, translating to approximately 8,226 attacks per hour.
Why it matters: Organizations relying on Cloudflare or any edge network face a rising tide of DDoS attacks; practitioners should review their DDoS mitigation posture and traffic filtering rules to handle the demonstrated attack volume and velocity.
