DDoS attacks hit record scale as 1 Tbps+ campaigns become more common
Cloudflare's H1 2026 DDoS Threat Report documents a surge in distributed denial-of-service attacks characterized by larger traffic volumes, reduced campaign durations, and greater automation. Threat actors increasingly employ multi-vector techniques and hyper-volumetric network-layer attacks exceeding 1 terabit per second to disrupt services across sectors.
Why it matters: Infrastructure operators and service providers face escalating DDoS threats that can overwhelm defenses; practitioners should evaluate volumetric mitigation capacity and multi-vector detection capabilities to withstand campaigns that have grown significantly in scale.

threat intel
DDoS attacks hit record scale as 1 Tbps+ campaigns become more common
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks reached record scale in the first half of 2026, with campaigns exceeding 1 terabit per second (Tbps) becoming increasingly common. Threat actors employed multi-vector techniques and large-scale network-layer attacks to disrupt services across multiple industries, while attack campaigns grew shorter in duration and more automated. Cloudflare's H1 2026 DDoS Threat Report documents the shift toward hyper-volumetric attacks as a primary attack vector.
Why it matters: Organizations across all sectors face elevated risk from larger, faster DDoS campaigns; practitioners should assess network capacity, detection thresholds, and incident response protocols for attacks at Tbps scale.
