<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The biggest known denial of service assault on the internet has been successfully defended against, according to IT giants Google, Amazon, and Cloudflare. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">However, they are raising concerns about a new tactic that they believe has the potential to cause significant damage.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Internet companies report biggest-ever denial of service operation</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Google (GOOGL.O), a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., stated in a blog post last week that its cloud services had repelled a wave of malicious traffic that was more than seven times larger than the previous record-breaking attack that was stopped last year.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The attack, according to internet security firm Cloudflare Inc., was "three times larger than any previous attack we've observed." </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The online services subsidiary of Amazon.com Inc. also acknowledged that it had been the victim of "a new type of distributed denial of service (DDoS) event." </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Google said the attack was still ongoing, while all three claimed it started in late August.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">One of the most fundamental types of attacks on the web is denial of service, which involves flooding targeted servers with a barrage of false requests for data, preventing real online traffic from passing through.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The ability to perform denial of service attacks has grown along with the internet world.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Certain attacks have the capacity to produce millions of false requests per second. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">According to measurements made by Google, Cloudflare, and Amazon, the most recent assaults have the ability to produce hundreds of millions of requests every second.</p>
