Mike Matchett: All right. That's interesting. I would have I would have thought that might have been flipped a little bit, but it looks like, uh, folks have learned how to use botnets. That would be where we are to start with. They're not going to give away their their host country and just launch everything from their host IP router. They're going to obviously want this to come from the distributed part the all over the world. Uh, and get that, uh, when, when, when the hackers are doing DDoS attacks, uh, are they, uh, targeting people out of, out of, uh, any particular, uh, agenda? Are they looking to take down banks? Are they looking to to tackle certain verticals? Are they getting paid to do this? What what do you see as sort of like the industry, uh, vulnerability for for DDoS. Yeah. Omer Yoachimik: So, um, I think, uh, a nice way to look at it is that the vast majority of DDoS attacks is cyber vandalism and to, you know, and kind of if you think about it like, um, I'm um, so. Who would know or who would have the ability to launch this type of cyber vandalism by just playing around with some tools, spinning up some VMs. These are usually people that are, you know, kind of in the industry or adjacent. Uh, so this is why we see that usually cryptocurrency and gaming are the most targeted. Uh, and, and in fact, cryptocurrency was the most targeted industry in terms of volume of traffic. Um, like it's basically follow the money where the money is. Attackers are um, especially in the technical like in the cyber world. So it's, it's it's gaming. Um, we often get reports from customers saying that like a gaming customer saying that their competitor DDoS them, um, because, you know, it's all you need is a little bit latency. So users will kind of, yeah, get annoyed and switch to a different game or a different server. Um, and so that's kind of where, where it's at. But I think something uh, was uh, something interesting happened in the last in the past year, which we saw a massive increase in attacks on, uh, environmental services, um, kind of when we normalize traffic relative to them. Um, uh.
