In 2018, we recorded 13% less DDoS activity than in the previous year. A drop in the number of attacks over this period was observed in each quarter, except the third, which outstripped Q3 2017 due to an anomalously active September. The biggest decrease was seen in Q4, with the number of attacks only 70% of the 2017 figure.

In the last quarter of 2018, China still accounted for most DDoS attacks. However, its share was down by more than 20 p.p.: from 77.67% to 50.43%.

Russia and South Korea, until recently considered Top 10 regulars, slipped well down — as in the rating by number of attacks, they finished 17th and 25th, respectively. They were replaced by new entrants Brazil (2.73%) in fourth place and Saudi Arabia (2.23%) in fifth.

The average distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack size shrunk 85% in the fourth quarter of 2018 following an FBI takedown of "booter," or DDoS-for-hire, websites, in December 2018, researchers report.

The shutdown of prominent booter sites made a pronounced difference in DDoS attack trends for the fourth quarter of 2018, researchers report in Nexusguard's DDoS Threat Report 2018 Q4. During the most recent quarter, the number of DDoS attacks fell nearly 11% year-over-year, and the maximum attack size decreased nearly 24%. The biggest difference was in attack size, which dropped 85%.
