Radware Reports DDoS Attack Volumes in APAC Rise 364%
TOKYO, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a global leader in application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, released threat intelligence findings that offer a year-over-year look at the rise in cyber activity in the APAC region. Radware's threat intelligence is based on 2024 network and application attack activity sourced from the company's cloud and managed services, and threat intelligence research team. In addition, it draws from information found on Telegram, a public messaging platform often used by cybercriminals. Key findings Between 2023 and 2024 in APAC: Average mitigated DDoS attack volumes rose 364%. The number of DNS flood queries rose 93%. Government institutions were the top hacktivist targets, followed by education. 'Across APAC, there has been a sharp escalation in the frequency and intensity of cyberattacks and DDoS incidents are leading the charge,' said Kenichiro Sasaki, Radware's county manager in Japan. 'Multiple catalysts are driving the threat revolution, including geopolitical conflicts, bigger and more complex threat surfaces, and more sophisticated and persistent threats. Add to that the impact of AI, which is lowering barriers to entry, and what you have is a highly dynamic threat environment that demands equally dynamic defense strategies.' Network-layer DDoS attacks grow three times bigger In 2024, network DDoS attack activity and intensity witnessed a significant uptick in APAC. According to Radware's threat intelligence: Attack activity : The average number of DDoS attacks per customer increased 72% compared to 2023. : The average number of DDoS attacks per customer increased 72% compared to 2023. Attack volume: The average mitigated DDoS attack volume climbed 364% over 2023. The average mitigated DDoS attack volume climbed 364% over 2023. Industry targets : Services providers bore 55% of the network DDoS attack volume, followed by technology at 21% and gaming at 11%.

During 2024 in APAC: Attack activity: The number of DNS flood queries rose 93% compared to 2023. The number of DNS flood queries rose 93% compared to 2023. Attack volume: Malicious DNS volume increased 93% over 2023. Malicious DNS volume increased 93% over 2023. Industry targets: The manufacturing sector accounted for 43% of malicious DNS Query Flood activity. Telecom (40%) ranked second, followed by energy (14%). Hacktivist campaigns intensify, marked by retaliation and disruption Propelled by political and ideological tensions, hacktivism remained a leading driver of cyberattacks. On a global basis, the total number of hacktivist-claimed DDoS attacks increased by 20% between 2023 and 2204, according to data gathered from Telegram. Across APAC, 2024 Telegram data revealed: Geographic targets: The top targeted country was India with 761 claimed attacks, followed by Indonesia (614), Taiwan (281), Thailand (220), and Bangladesh (188).
