12 per cent of the DDoS attacks were malicious DNS requests against customer DNS servers. The first half of 2020 also saw a rise in DDoS attacks targeting websites and applications. In 2019, 4.2 per cent of the DDoS attacks reported to the F5 SIRT were identified as targeting web apps. However, this increased sixfold in 2020 to 26 per cent.
The F5 SIRT incident data also revealed geographic differences in attack type. The Asia/Pacific region had the highest percentage (83 per cent) of incidents reported as DDoS attacks across the globe. Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) saw the next highest, with 54 per cent of
reported incidents categorised as DDoS attacks.
Changes in access attacks on password logins Credential stuffing and brute force are major threats on the Internet. With the pandemic causing a huge shift from in- store buying to eCommerce, it seemed logical to expect increased levels of password attacks on retailers. Indeed, 67 per cent of all F5 SIRT- reported attacks on retailers in 2020 were password attacks; in 2019, it was only 40 per cent. Also in 2020 , half of the incident reports from service providers were attributed to password login attacks. Financial services customers also reported 43 per
... 50
cent of incidents as password logins. F5 Labs also keeps an eye on the specific kinds of technical services being hit by password login attacks. One growth area is authentication attacks on APIs, which the F5 SIRT reports show doubled from 2.6 per cent in 2019 to 5 per cent so far in 2020.
Conclusion Expect more turbulence with the changes in the economy, the pandemic, and the holiday shopping season, more will likely be done more online this year. One thing is clear: our increased usage and dependence on technology has also brought increased levels in the already-growing attack trends.
