The largest distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack to date peaked at 5.6 terabits per second and came from a Mirai-based botnet with 13,000 compromised devices.

The UDP-based attack occurred last year on October 29 and targeted an internet service provider (ISP) in Eastern Asia in an attempt to bring its services offline.

Security and connectivity services provider Cloudflare says that the assault lasted 80 seconds but had no impact on the target and generated no alerts because its detection and mitigation was completely autonomous.
