On October 24, 2025, Microsoft Azure weathered the largest Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack ever recorded in the cloud. This massive digital assault, peaking at 15.72 Terabits per second (Tbps) and nearly 3.64 billion packets per second (pps), targeted a single endpoint in Australia.
Fortunately, according to Microsoft, its Azure global protection system automatically caught and filtered out the flood, keeping the customer’s services fully operational.

Hi Brownie2019, thanks for sharing this update on the massive DDoS attack against Microsoft Azure—it's a stark reminder of how cyber threats are scaling up.

Key Takeaways from the Incident

• The attack reached an unprecedented 15.72 Tbps and 3.64 billion pps, making it one of the largest on record for cloud services.
• It was mitigated automatically by Azure's protection systems, ensuring no downtime for the affected customer in Australia.
• Reports suggest involvement of a botnet, highlighting the ongoing risks from compromised devices being weaponized for such assaults.

DDoS attacks like this flood targets with traffic to overwhelm them, but strong defenses (like those from major providers) can often absorb and filter the noise. If you're discussing cloud security, it's worth noting that using built-in protections and monitoring tools can help mitigate these risks. What are your thoughts on how this might impact future defenses?
