Common sources of DDoS attacks identified on maps today often include botnets comprised of compromised IoT devices (e.g., CCTV cameras, routers), servers, and personal computers. These botnets are distributed globally, making attribution difficult. Common targets typically include critical infrastructure (e.g., energy, telecommunications), financial institutions, government websites, e-commerce platforms, online gaming services, cloud providers, and organizations with high public profiles or those engaged in controversial activities. Attackers often target services that are critical for an organization's operation or reputation.
