Gcore released its Q1-Q2 2025 Radar report into DDoS attack trends. The report reveals a significant escalation in the total number of DDoS attacks and their magnitude, measured in terabits per second (Tbps) The largest attack peaked at 2.2 Tbps, surpassing the 2 Tbps peak recorded in late 2024.

Luxembourg, September 25th, 2025, Cyber Newswire, G-Corps, the Global Edge AI, cloud, network, and security solutions provider, today announced the findings OFITSQ-1Q2-20205 radar report into DDoS attack trends. DDoS attacks have reached unprecedented scale and disruption in 2025, and businesses need to act fast to protect themselves from this evolving threat. Their report reveals a significant escalation in the total number of DDoS attacks and their magnitude, measured in terabits per second, TBPs. It also highlights a clear shift. Attackers are growing more strategic, blending brute force

volume with precise application layer manipulation. Key insights from Q1Q2, 2025. attack volumes increased by 41% compared to Q1Q2, 2024, evidencing dangerous long-term growth trends predicted in prior radar reports. The largest attack peaked at 2.2 terabits per second in Q1Q2, surpassing the 2 TB speak recorded in late 2024. DDoS attacks are becoming longer in duration but more harmful. Attackers are shifting focus to financial services in tech, with tech overtaking gaming as the most targeted sector. DDoS attacks at the application layer have increased by 10% from Q3Q42,024 to Q1Q2 2025. The total number of DDoS attacks climbed from 969,000 in H2 2024 to 1. 17 million in H1 2025. Andre Slassanov, head of security

at GCorps, commented, greater than the latest GCorps radar should be a wake-up call to business across all greater than industries. Not only are the number and intensity of attacks increasing, but greater than attackers are expanding the scope of their attacks to reach an increasingly greater than wide range of sectors. Businesses must invest in robust DDoS detection, greater than mitigation, and protection to prevent the financial and reputational impact of greater than an attack. Recent data shows shift toward longer sustained assaults attacks shorter than 10 minutes have decreased by about 33%, while those lasting between 10 and 30 minutes have nearly quadrupled. While previous reports highlighted the dominance of very short, intense DDoS attacks,

this change indicates that attackers are adapting to the improved automatic detection and mitigation systems employed by companies to handle brief attacks. By extending attack durations, threat actors can circumvent these temporary defensive thresholds, cause more extensive damage, and test infrastructure resilience overtime. Multi-vector attacks have also increasingly become a preferred tactic of attackers. By masking malicious activity within seemingly legitimate traffic, attackers complicate detection and extend their window to cause damage. This shift toward more sophisticated attacks underscores the need for an equally layered defense approach that anticipates attacker strategies and protects critical digital assets holistically.

Data indicates rise in attacks on vulnerable sectors gaming is no longer the dominant target it once was. Its share of total DDoS attacks has dropped significantly, 30% in the last year. This notable decline suggests attackers are shifting focus to other sectors such as tech, attacks increased by 15% and financial services, attacks increased by 15%. This sectors are favored targets because they may be less protected against threat actors and have higher disruption potential. The domino effect of cyber attacks hosting providers, in particular, have become prime targets due to their role supporting SaaS, e-commerce, gaming, and financial clients. An attack on one hosting provider can have dangerous ripple effects, massive service outages and

reputation damage to dozens of dependent companies. Geographical distribution of DDoS attacks with a presence that spans six continents, GCorps can accurately track the geographical sources of DDoS attacks. G-Corps derives these insights from Theotecker's IP addresses and the geographic locations of the data centers where a malicious traffic is targeted. Although the United States and the Netherlands remain top sources for attacks, as found in previous radar reports, Hong Kong is a new source of threats. Hong Kong now accounts for 17% of all network layer and 10% of application layer attacks. These findings indicate that attackers are expanding into emerging areas, highlighting the need for proactive and adaptive defenses across diverse regions. Emerging origins of attacks, the rapid increase in application layer attacks, 28% to 38% from Q3Q4 2024-TOQ2 2025, also reveals an overall trend toward multi-layered attacks

targeting web application and API vulnerabilities, which particularly impact sectors with a high degree of customer interaction, ranging from e-commerce and online banking to logistics and public services.
