2.45 billion requests, 5 hours, and zero rate limits triggered 🚨 In mid-April, our Galileo team blocked one of the most sophisticated DDoS attacks we've analyzed: 1.2 million unique IPs across 16,000+ autonomous systems, each staying just below detection thresholds while generating sustained pressure at scale. This wasn't brute force. It was evasion by design. The attacker pulsed intensity to reset rate-limit counters and blended traffic through privacy-focused ASNs and legitimate cloud providers. Traditional defenses failed. DataDome blocked the attack in real time. Full breakdown of the DDoS attack in the comments 👇
