CLOUDFLARE DDOS THREAT REPORT H1 2026: 1 TBPS ATTACKS SOAR AS DNS FLOODS AND GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS DRIVE A NEW WAVE

Cloudflare mitigated 23.2 million network-layer and 29.64 trillion HTTP DDoS requests in the first half of 2026, according to the company's 25th DDoS Threat Report. April was the peak month, hitting 6.46 trillion requests and 165 petabytes of volume, with activity declining afterward following Operation PowerOFF, a 21-country action that took down 53 domains and targeted over 75,000 DDoS-for-hire users. Network-layer attacks exceeding 1 terabit per second rose more than six-fold from Q1 to Q2, with Cloudflare recording 805 such attacks in the second quarter alone. Brazil overtook the United States as the top source country for DDoS traffic, accounting for 14.9% of mitigated requests versus 13.4% for the US.

REVIEWING CODE IS A SKILL

Code review can improve through deliberate practice, with experienced reviewers learning to spot bugs, design problems, hidden assumptions, and operational risks that automated checks or LLM reviews can miss. Strong reviews draw on system history, invariants, failure modes, and organizational context, making code review useful not only for defect detection but also for knowledge transfer, maintaining norms, and understanding changes.
