Web performance and security company Cloudflare reported on Tuesday that its systems blocked another record-breaking distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.

The latest record-breaking attack peaked at 22.2 terabits per second (Tbps) and 10.6 billion packets per second (Bpps), and lasted only 40 seconds.

The company said this hyper-volumetric DDoS attack, which was double in size compared to the previous record, was autonomously blocked by its systems.

Cloudflare told SecurityWeek that the attack was aimed at a single IP address of an unnamed European network infrastructure company.

Cloudflare has yet to determine who was behind the attack, but believes it may have been powered by the Aisuru botnet, which was also linked earlier this year to a massive 6.3 Tbps attack on the website of cybersecurity blogger Brian Krebs.
