Arbor Networks DDoS Attack Map.
Arbor Networks brings you one of today’s most popular attack maps. This map is dedicated to tracking down
incidents related to DDoS attacks around the globe.
The data is gathered by the Arbor Networks ATLAS® global threat intelligence system, coming from a
worldwide analysis of 300+ ISPs with over 130 Tbps of live traffic. Stats are updated hourly, but the digital
map also allows you to explore historical data sets.
Its features include:
 Show stats per country
 View attack source + destination
 Show different types of attacks (large, unusual, combined, etc.)
 Color-coded attacks by type, source port, duration and destination port
 Show size of the DDoS attack in Gbps
 Get embed code to insert the map in your own website
 Sort by TCP connection, volumetric, fragmentation and application

ThreatCoud Live Cyber Attack Threat map
CheckPoint designed the ThreatCloud map, which is another cyber-attack map offering a hi-tech way to
detect DDoS attacks from around the globe. It’s not the most advanced map in our list, but it does succeed
in showing live stats for recent attacks.
ThreatCloud displays live stats, which include new attacks, the source of the attacks, and their various
destinations. Another interesting feature is the “Top targets by country” feature, which offers threat stats
for the past week and month, as well as the average infection rate and percentage of most frequent attack
sources for some countries.
At the time of this writing, the Philippines was the top country attacked, with the United States in second.
