It is well-reported that the pandemic caused a spike in cyberattacks, including malware, ransomware and DDoS attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threat actors have sought to disrupt not only services people rely on everyday like healthcare, education and financial but also critical infrastructure, like food supply chains, utilities and government agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correspondingly, there has been a dramatic increase in the weapons that can be used to launch these attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2H 2021 reporting period, A10 Networks security research team tracked over 15.4 million DDoS weapons in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, A10 Networks\u2019 threat intelligence detailed the use of DDoS attacks to disrupt infrastructure and communications in Ukraine in February 2022 just as Russia launched its ground attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A10\u2019s threat intelligence research team monitored significant advances in scope and intensity of cybercrimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
