The analysis of commands received from command and control servers also demonstrates this decline, said a DDoS Protection report from Kaspersky, adding that despite the overall stabilization of the DDoS market during the year, the quarter still saw a year-on-year rise, and the year’s highest number of attacks in a single day, totalling 323.
In Q3 2020, the company said that it detected 73 per cent fewer attacks than in the previous quarter. However, compared to the same period in 2019, this figure has seen a one-and-a-half times year-on-year increase.
This means that the decline observed during Q3 can mostly be explained by the abnormal rise of attacks in the second quarter.
