Nokia's Deepfield Emergency Response Team discovered a network botnet named Eleven11bot, compromising 30,000 webcams and video recorders, mostly located in the US. This botnet conducted what is likely the biggest denial-of-service (DDoS) attack to date, peaking at 6.5 terabits per second. The attacks targeted various sectors, such as communication service providers and gaming hosting infrastructure. This resulted in significant service degradation, with some outages lasting multiple days. The sheer volume of data consumed massive bandwidth, disrupting services and potentially causing financial and reputational damage to the targeted organizations.
