Hmm, this is very strange. I never thought that this type of attack is possible in a decentralized p2p application. By the very least, I did not find a single mention of this in all the sources that I found https://utopia.fans/networks/ddos-attack-what-it-is-and-how-to-trace-a-ddos-attack/ https://lemmy.ml/post/35712 .
Well, given the number and scale of these attacks, we can say that they are becoming more complex and dangerous. https://utopia.fans/networks/the-biggest-ddos-attacks-in-history/ Cybercriminals do not stop and come up with more and more sophisticated methods. I think the time has come to pay more attention to ways of protecting against this type of attack.
