If you actually took the time to read the article, it says the following:
>Over the past few days, Cloudflare, as well as other sources, have observed healthcare organizations targeted by a pro-Russian hacktivist group claiming to be Killnet.

#4This just feels like a typical sales team fluff piece.
I worked in this space, and constantly read articles of different providers claiming to have blocked the biggest attack ever.
Some go by total bandwidth, some by pps, some by number of actors, and apparently some by rps.
Not that it isn't impressive, still, but hardly seems newsworthy.

You quoted the wrong article. This article says
> Is this related to the Super Bowl or Killnet?
> No. This campaign of attacks arrives less than two weeks after the Killnet DDoS campaign that targeted healthcare websites.

indeed
I suspect a single machine could put out 71M HTTP requests/second without too much difficulty
(but cloudflare never misses an opportunity for a blog post)

#7The startup I work for blocks all of china, russia, belarus and serbian IP space, which saves us about $50kper month in bandwidth charges.
The absolutely first thing I do at every company and on every project is ask if I can block russia, china and belarussian IP space, and add all of their ASNs to the bogon list if we run our own bgp.
They are never customers to the businesses of the companies I work for, but they sure manage to harm our businesses.
Russisns mostly try to disrupt and steal because thats their foreign policy.
Chinese just try to destroy and censor. Worked at a company which hosted presentations, one of their 5 million presentations was critical of China. We received over 10,000 phone calls and close to a million emails in two days, and a sustained 10gbps ddos attack for a week.
Letting russia and china on the internet was a massive security mistake we should rectify. The world spends literally BILLIONS because chinarussia are frankly assholes online.
Edit: corrected $500k per month to $50kb per month.

#10Cloudflare ddos mitigation is overrated.
First they force you to upgrade your plan, if that does not help, anotyer upgrade, if that fails, chances are you will get a termination notice.
