French cloud computing firm OVHcloud said it mitigated a record-breaking distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in April 2024 that reached a packet rate of 840 million packets per second (Mpps).
This is just above the previous record of 809 million Mpps reported by Akamai as targeting a large European bank in June 2020.
The 840 Mpps DDoS attack is said to have been a combination of a TCP

The malware known as GootLoader continues to be in active use by threat actors looking to deliver additional payloads to compromised hosts.
“Updates to the GootLoader payload have resulted in several versions of GootLoader, with GootLoader 3 currently in active use,” cybersecurity firm Cybereason said in an analysis published last week.

The supply chain attack targeting widely-used Polyfill[.]io JavaScript library is wider in scope than previously thought, with new findings from Censys showing that over 380,000 hosts are embedding a polyfill script linking to the malicious domain as of July 2, 2024.
This includes references to “https://cdn.polyfill[.]io” or “https://cdn.polyfill[.]com” in their HTTP responses, the attack

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new botnet called Zergeca that’s capable of conducting distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Written in Golang, the botnet is so named for its reference to a string named “ootheca” present in the command-and-control (C2) servers (“ootheca[.]pw” and “ootheca[.]top”).
“Functionally, Zergeca is not just a typical DDoS botnet; besides supporting six
