The recent government DDoS, suspected of originating from Korea, has been hot news lately but the vague sensationalist comments appearing the media make it difficult to know the actual scale of the problem. ShadowServer aims to correct this by providing up-to-date visualizations of botnets and DDoS attacks through simple graphs that track historical activity over daily, monthly, and annual graphs. Shown above is the most recent chart of the weekly DDOS activity, with the huge spike on Thursday. Many more charts are available on their site.
