Cloudflare DDoS Threat Report H1 2026: 1 Tbps attacks soar as DNS floods and geopolitical tensions drive a new wave
Cloudflare's H1 2026 DDoS Threat Report analyzes Distributed Denial of Service attack trends from January through June 2026. The report highlights a rise in hyper-volumetric attacks and shifts in attack vectors.
Why it matters
The rise of rapid, high-volume attacks means manual security responses are too slow to prevent downtime. This forces organizations to adopt automated protection to avoid prolonged service degradation.
The details
- Cloudflare mitigated 935 network-layer DDoS attacks exceeding 1 Tbps in H1 2026.
- Media, Production & Publishing was the most attacked industry at 14.2%.
- Brazil became the top DDoS source country with 14.9% of traffic.
