Pete Recommends – Weekly highlights on cyber security issues, April 12, 2025
Five highlights from this week: #Biometrics vs. passcodes: What lawyers recommend if you're worried about warrantless phone searches; #DDoS Attacks Now Key Weapons in Geopolitical Conflicts, #NETSCOUT Warns; Google Maps doubles down on preventing fake reviews; Large number of US adults view AI as a threat: Report; and Explosive Growth of Non-Human Identities (#NHI) Creating Massive Security Blind Spots.
News on the #DDoS front: The latest #threatreport of #NETSCOUT was just published. As usual, a great read for those in the industry!
My colleague and I recently worked on a blog post here at #NETSCOUT in which we explore a coordinated cyber response against organizations in #Italy. Political alignment once again lead to severe action happening in the cyber space.
Despite the increased activity of threat actors, and the increased perception of public claims, in the broader picture of #DDoS, Italy did not experience a substantial change DDoS trends.

While some report increased latency or no visible effect, we at #ASERT observed a noticeable decline of around 20% of egress traffic from Finland after the cut of the C-Lion1 submarine cable in the early morning hours of November 18. The traffic has yet to normalize for the past 72 hours.
My colleague Marcin explored what #NETSCOUT #ASERT observes about the coordinated #DDoS effort against organizations in #Japan. #NoName057 and the #RussianCyberArmy team coordinated a DDoS campaign as a response to news on the military stage.
While most reports talk about the #databreach, the fact that a #DDoS attack happened, and the political motivations behind the threat actor attacking archive[.]org we at #NETSCOUT #ASERT used our insights, to explore what the DDoS attack looked like and what kind of botnet was involved. Today, we published a blog post about it: Internet Archive under assault
Happy to announce the new iteration of #NETSCOUT #ASERT #DDoS Threat Intelligence Report - Issue 13. The three key findings focus on #threats, #targets and #defense. My personal favorite insight: We observed an average peak concurrent DDoS traffic of staggering 3.2 Tbps in 1H2024. The DDoS target section also covers the attacks tracked by us against different industries and really shows how noone is safe in today's geopolitical climate.
