The average cost of a DDoS assault is $120,000. Furthermore, a huge corporation may end up paying more than $2 million.
DDoS attacks centered on ransom and extortion have been on the rise. Many clients wind up paying hackers a substantial price only to prevent or stop the attack. Furthermore, even after paying, there is no guarantee that the hackers will keep their word.
Meanwhile, someone can purchase DDoS attacks for only $10 USD per hour. This substantial difference in the cost of purchasing a DDoS attack versus the effects of a DDoS attack makes them fairly common.
