QRator Labs has developed a solution to mitigate Layer 7 DDoS attacks using a botnet of 5.76 million compromised devices. Their approach focuses on enhancing server resilience by employing advanced filtering techniques that distinguish between legitimate traffic and malicious requests, effectively reducing the impact of such attacks on targeted websites.

KrebsOnSecurity experienced a massive 6.3 Tbps DDoS attack, believed to be a test of the Aisuru botnet, which consists of compromised IoT devices. This attack, lasting less than a minute, highlights the growing threat posed by sophisticated botnets and the involvement of individuals like "Forky," who has connections to multiple DDoS-for-hire services. Despite the attack's scale, KrebsOnSecurity remained operational due to its DDoS protection measures.
