DataDome Uncovers Massive "Low and Slow" DDoS Attack with 2.45 Billion Requests

DataDome researchers identified a large-scale "low and slow" DDoS attack that generated 2.45 billion requests over a five-hour period. The attack utilized 1.2 million unique IP addresses to target an unspecified platform. The method involved distributing requests at a controlled rate to evade detection while overwhelming the system. No specific victim, date, or geographic location was disclosed in the findings. The attack highlights the growing use of stealthy, high-volume DDoS techniques to bypass traditional defenses.
