The Role of IoT and 5G Devices in DDoS Attacks
summary
Average DDoS sizes climb from 300 Gbps (early 2021) to 800 Gbps (early 2023) and IoT-driven attacks rise 300% in H1 2023, with 90% of sophisticated incidents botnet‑based. Attackers scan for default‑password devices, inject malware and coordinate via C2 to launch carpet bombing UDP floods. A CDN plus distributed scrubbing, real‑time analytics and deep packet inspection stops an almost 1 terabit per second incident in a case study. Fixes: change defaults, patch firmware, use 2FA/certificates, adopt cloud DDoS protection and IoT security frameworks.
