NetScout Systems Inc. published its DDoS Threat Intelligence Report for the second half of 2025, warning that global DDoS activity is becoming more coordinated and scalable, driven by resilient botnets, compromised IoT infrastructure, and the growth of DDoS-for-hire services. The report says more than eight million attacks were observed across 203 countries and territories, with some reaching 30 Tbps and about 42% using multiple attack vectors. NetScout also flagged increasing use of AI tools on underground forums to speed vulnerability exploitation and botnet expansion, raising the need for more automated and proactive defenses.
