According to Cloudflare, ransom DDoS attacks increased by almost a third year-on-year between 2020 and 2021 and jumped&nbsp; by 175% in the final quarter of 2021 compared to the previous three months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cloudflare-report-highlights-devastating-ddos-attacks-on-voip-services-and-several-record-setting-http-attacks\/\">large-scale ransom DDoS attacks on voice over IP (VoIP) service providers<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/topic\/a-winning-strategy-for-cybersecurity\/#link=%7B%22role%22:%22standard%22,%22href%22:%22http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/topic\/a-winning-strategy-for-cybersecurity\/%22,%22target%22:%22_blank%22,%22absolute%22:%22%22,%22linkText%22:%22%3Cstrong%3EA%20winning%20strategy%20for%20cybersecurity%3C\/strong%3E%22%7D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>A winning strategy for cybersecurity<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;(ZDNet special report)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to a survey by Cloudflare, just over one in five DDoS attacks was accompanied by a ransom note from the attacker during 2021.
