According to KhabarOnline, an iranian news agency, Behzad Akbari, CEO of Iran’s Telecommunications Infrastructure Company (TIC), wrote in a message published on his personal social media page that the company’s technical systems had successfully detected and mitigated the most significant DDoS attack in recent years in terms of packets per second. According to him, the unprecedented attack targeted the infrastructure of a domestic operator but was managed and neutralized without causing widespread disruption to end users.
Based on released data, the attack peaked at more than 720 million packets per second. A substantial portion of the malicious traffic was blocked by domestic cyber defense systems, while the remainder was mitigated through international cooperation and filtering of hostile traffic outside the country. The attack is believed to have originated from approximately 125,000 distributed sources across various regions of the world, underscoring the high level of coordination and technical sophistication involved.
In recent years, DDoS attacks have emerged as a major threat to global communications and digital infrastructure. By generating massive volumes of artificial traffic, such attacks aim to disrupt access to internet, financial, and communication services, often resulting in significant economic and operational damage.
According to the CEO of the Telecommunications Infrastructure Company, this incident ranks among the world’s 12 largest cyberattacks in terms of packets per second, highlighting both the scale of the threat and the growing importance of cyber resilience at the international level.
