Mike Matchett: We talked a little bit about seasonality and we saw some you know, we looked at some some charts of things going on in Q3 versus Q4 and so on. Uh, do you have any more specifics on on how doze might line up with different seasons for some for different reasons? Mike Ripley: Absolutely. Yeah. So in Q4, you know, lots of holidays going on, lots of shopping, lots of different trends that we're seeing, especially, uh, our, you know, reoccurring visitor, the Doze Grinch, likes to make an appearance around this, you know, that time of year. So when we think about this and look towards attacks on retail, for example, what we noticed is that, you know, we mitigated over, you know, 276 billion different types of Http DDoS requests, which is a 18% increase from 2022. And then in Q4, the amount of that, you know, Http DDoS traffic that we saw towards retail actually increased by about 15% year over year. But from Q3 to Q4, it actually decreased. So just some interesting statistics that we're seeing. And of course, back to the point about seasonality, right? This is, you know, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, you know, all these various holidays are going on. So it's typically the uptick we see around this time of year with attacks towards retail. Mike Matchett: So we talked about that industry vertical. So retail is definitely targeted towards the buying season. The online shopping season right. Mike Ripley: Yeah absolutely. In fact like when you think about this retail makes up the uh the eighth most attacked industry in our top ten for last year. But when we look at, you know, retail adjacent categories like consumer electronics, consumer goods and services, then it actually jumps that figure up from about 276 billion to roughly about 400 billion requests, and then actually takes it from eighth place to about seventh place and then moves internet into eighth place in terms of, uh, top ten industries.
Discover the alarming rise in DDoS attacks, particularly a staggering 3,300% year-over-year increase targeting Taiwan during political tensions.
