DDoS attacks in Q3 2019

This past quarter we observed a new DDoS attack that confirmed our earlier hypothesis regarding attacks through the Memcached protocol. As we surmised, the attackers attempted to use another, rather exotic protocol to amplify DDoS attacks. Experts at Akamai Technologies recently registered an attack on one of their clients that was carried out by spoofing the return IP address through the WS-Discovery multicast protocol.
Quarter trends
Q3 typically sees a lull in DDoS activity over the summer months, followed by a September spike associated with the start of the academic year. This year was no exception.

However, comparing this indicator with the same period last year, we see more than double growth. The prediction made in previous reports is clearly coming true: the DDoS market is stabilizing for smart attacks too. With this in mind, it will be extremely interesting to see the Q4 results.

DDoS attacks large and small are rapidly growing in frequency, with 241% more attacks launched in the third quarter of 2019 than were seen in the third quarter of 2018. The growth was especially large in smaller attacks — those under 5 gigabits per second — as these lower-level attacks were 303% higher in 2019 than in the same period in 2018.

The new data from Neustar also shows smaller attacks include many at the application layer. These made up 81% of the attacks in Q3 2019, up from 75% of all attacks in Q2 2019, and 69% of the attacks in Q3 2018.
And most organizations (59%) surveyed for the report say their organizations have suffered DDoS attacks.
