Sberbank, Russia’s largest state-owned bank, has disclosed that it was the target of a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that peaked at 1 million requests per second (RPS).
The attack, which occurred 2 weeks ago, was the largest ever recorded against a Russian financial institution.
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.
Sberbank was able to withstand the attack without any significant disruptions to its services.
