DDoS attacks have risen sharply in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), surpassing North America as the most targeted region in Q1 2024, according to a new Akamai report launched at Infosecurity Europe 2024.
EMEA is the only region of the world where DDoS attacks have consistently risen since 2019. This has partly been driven by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and more recently the Israel-Hamas conflict, the researchers noted.
In contrast, in North America the DDoS attack volume has significantly fallen since 2023.
The total number of EMEA DDoS attack events reached almost 2500 throughout 2023, which is more than three-times as high as those experienced in the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) and Latin America (LATAM) combined.
