DemThis report looks at the DDoS attacks StormWall mitigated for its APAC customers between April and June 2026. StormWall is a cybersecurity provider operating dedicated scrubbing centers across Asia Pacific, the US, Europe, and the Middle East, including a facility in Singapore. Our network has more than 8 Tbit/s of filtering capacity, and the volume of attack traffic we process daily gives us a close view of how DDoS activity in the region is evolving.
Key Takeaways
StormWall mitigated 1.72 million DDoS attacks in APAC in Q2 2026, up 83% year over year.
Commercially motivated attacks — where attackers sought financial gain or an unfair competitive advantage — accounted for 76% of observed activity in APAC. The remaining attacks were attributed to hacktivism,which, while still significant, no longer defined the region’s baseline threat activity.
This contrasts somewhat with StormWall’s global findings, where more than 70% of attacks observed in Q2 were attributed to hacktivist groups.o
