In the past week, two of the largest Bitcoin exchanges have been hit with one of the largest distributed denial of service attacks (DDOS) ever seen (estimated at 400 Gbps), and some of the media is commencing an attack of their own against Bitcoin for very different reasons.
Is that the same DDOS attack as mentioned here (
http://www.ddosattacks.net/largest-ever-ddos-attack/) to be the largest DDOS attack ever?
CloudFlare said that the attack was close to 400Gbps in size, making it bigger than last year’s DDoS attack against anti-spam outfit Spamhaus, which was measured at just over 300Gbps.
Confidentiality stopped CloudFlare from revealing the identify of the customer under attack, and there were few details on how many other companies had been affected.
