#steam #playstation #gaming

The entire online gaming world, including PlayStation Network, Steam, Riot Games, and Xbox, was simultaneously crippled by the largest DDoS cyber attack in history, peaking at an almost unbelievable 29.69 terabits per second (Tbps) of junk traffic. This was not maintenance, but a direct, coordinated assault orchestrated by the Aisuru botnet, a massive digital weapon controlling over 300,000 everyday compromised devices like home routers and cameras. The multi-platform blitz caused wide-ranging disruptions, from locked-out accounts to disabled competitive play, with the non-selective nature of the attack suggesting it was a terrifying "flex of power" on global internet infrastructure. This record-shattering incident serves as a critical warning that even the biggest networks are vulnerable, urging users to immediately secure their own home devices to avoid becoming silent soldiers in Aisuru's next attack.
