Internet companies report biggest-ever denial of service operation

Alphabet Inc-owned Google said in a blog post published Tuesday that its cloud services had parried an avalanche of rogue traffic more than seven times the size of the previous record-breaking attack thwarted last year.

As the online world has developed, so too has the power of denial of service operations, some of which can generate millions of bogus requests per second. The recent attacks measured by Google, Cloudflare and Amazon were capable of generating hundreds of millions of request per second. All three companies said the supersized attacks were enabled by a weakness in HTTP/2 — a newer version of the HTTP network protocol that underpins the World Wide Web — that makes servers particularly vulnerable to rogue requests.None of the three companies said who was responsible for the denial of service attacks, which have historically been difficult to pin down.
