April saw a daily average of 253 DDoS attacks but saw sharp increases on April 12th and 13th with spikes of 589% and 250% above average, likely due to increased hacktivist activities in response to geopolitical events.
April also showed continued use of carpet-bombing DDoS tactics by malicious actors to avoid detection, attempting to overwhelm lower-capacity mitigation solutions and make mitigation harder. In April 2024, Vercara noted that carpet bombing attacks accounted for 65.44% of all observed attacks, a 30% increase compared to March 2024.
