Cloudflare blocks record 7.3 Tbps DDoS attack against hosting provider

Cloudflare says it mitigated a record-breaking distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack in May 2025 that peaked at 7.3 Tbps, targeting a hosting provider. DDoS attacks flood targets with massive amounts of traffic with the sole aim to overwhelm servers and create service slowdowns, disruptions, or outages. This new attack, which is 12% larger than the previous record, delivered a massive data volume of 37.4 TB in just 45 seconds. This is the equivalent of about 7,500 hours of HD streaming o

Rise in 'alert fatigue' risks phone users disabling news notifications

news.ycombinator.com Michael Savage 2026-04-14 07:02:07

It has become a feature of modern life – millions of phones simultaneously buzz or sound the alarm as users are notified of breaking news deemed too important to miss. Now evidence is mounting that the prevalence of news alerts is giving rise to “alert fatigue”, with some mobile phone users peppered with as many as 50 notifications a day. The rise of news aggregators such as Apple News and Google on mobile devices means some users can receive more than one alert about the same story. Analysis

Cursed New Dating App Matches You Based on the Most Deranged Thing We Can Imagine

A newly-developed dating app matches potential lovers based on their entire internet browsing histories — and we're not quite sure how we feel about it. As Wired reports, the new service is straightforwardly-named "Browser Dating," and is the brainchild of Belgian artiste provocateur Dries Depoorter.

Like it or not, passwords aren’t going away anytime soon. While many organizations are exploring passwordless authentication, passwords still serve as the main line of defense for most public-facing online services. That said, they come with a heavy management burden. Gartner estimates that 40% of all service desk calls are tied to password issues like expirations, changes, and resets.

There are a number of network protocols that we might refer to as text protocols, where we send a line of text to the server and it sends back a response. Perhaps I should call them CRLF protocols, to distinguish from protocols where we’re blasting JSON back and forth. To speed things up, it can be tempting to have the client send multiple requests without waiting for individual responses. This is called pipelining. Support varies by protocol.
