In 2023–2024, according to Stanislav Kuznetsov, Deputy Chairman of Sberbank.
The number of DDoS attacks in the first half of 2024 rose to 355,000, surpassing the entire 2023 total. At the same time, losses for Russians are growing—by the end of 2024, it is expected that 250 million rubles will be stolen.
Russia plans to increase its cybersecurity capacity to 725.6 Tbps by 2030. As they report.
During a DDoS attack, several issues may arise.
The first is system failures, where websites or services may operate slowly or become unavailable due to overload, potentially causing extended downtime. This complicates user access to services.
The second issue is loss of access to critical data.
During an attack, the system may not respond, meaning important information, such as databases, files, or employee records, may be temporarily inaccessible.
Finally, there could be infrastructure disruption, which could affect vital systems such as energy or healthcare. This could lead to serious operational problems that require time to fix, affecting wide sectors.
