Longest DDoS attack was 5,698 minutes equating to four full days of continuous bombardment. DDoS extortionists posing as Fancy Bear, Cozy Bear, Armada Collective, and Lazarus Group mainly targeted operators of critical infrastructure and providers of financial services, eCommerce, and hosting services.
