Akamai Blocked 419 TB of Malicious Traffic in a 24-Hour DDoS Attack
On July 15, 2024, Akamai prevented one of the largest distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) cyberattacks it has ever observed against a major financial services company in Israel. The highly sophisticated, high-volume attack lasted almost 24 hours. The attacker deployed larger-than-usual resources, indicating a serious risk for future attacks. Other Israeli financial institutions reportedly suffered outages and downtimes on the same day, potentially due to the same type of attack and the same aggressor.
