Q2 2026 had two stories running at the same time.
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗔: 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.
✅The biggest botnet we tracked shrank from 13.5 million devices to 2.09 million, perhaps thanks to a coordinated takedown by the US, Canada, and Germany.
✅BGP hijacking incidents: zero.
✅Bad bot volumes dropped 27.8% from Q1.
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗕: 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲.
⚠️12 attacks above 1 Tbps in Q2 alone. In all of 2025, we recorded only 6.
⚠️The two most intense attacks of the quarter hit betting platforms during the World Cup: 1.64 Tbps and 1.58 Tbps.
⚠️Multi-vector attacks keep climbing.
Both stories are true. Both happened in the same quarter.
The question isn't which story to believe. It's which one your team is prepared for.
