Over the years, those clubs have grown ever larger. New data provided by Microsoft on Thursday shows there's no end in sight to that growth. > The company's Azure DDoS Protection team said that, in November, it fended off what industry experts say is likely the biggest distributed denial-of-service attack ever: a torrent of junk data with a throughput of 3.47 terabytes per second. The record DDoS came from more than 10,000 sources located in at least 10 countries around the world.
