  • Cloudflare’s DDoS protection kicked in and blocked the attack
  • This was the largest DDoS attack ever recorded

Distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks usually use a network of compromised devices to bombard a server with an unusually large amount of data in order to render a service unusable.
