India, China and the US were the top DDoS attacks targets in Q1 2025, with APAC facing over half of global attacks, according to new data from cybersecurity firm StormWall.
A new report from cybersecurity firm StormWall reveals that nearly half of all DDoS attacks in the first quarter of 2025 were aimed at China, India and the United States. Instead of focusing heavily on the usual targets, attackers are now directing more of their efforts toward infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region.
According to StormWall's analytics center, India topped the chart with 18.1% of the global DDoS traffic, followed by China at 16.2% and the US at 14.7%. Japan (12.3%) and Taiwan (10.2%) rounded out the top five. When it comes to industry-wise attacks, Telecommunications became the top target in APAC, with 136% year-over-year (YOY) growth.
