In February 2021, three of the six biggest volumetric DDoS attacks that have ever been recorded were dealt with. The most recent of these attacks peaked at 800 Gbps, which was targeted at a gambling company in Europe. The perpetrators used the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) or protocol 33, which is a new DDoS attack vector. The attackers leveraged the DCCP for DDoS, which lead to a volumetric attack and has the ability to bypass the defense set up for the TCP and UDP traffic flows. The attack is predicted to be increased with the surge of 5G and also BitCoin.
