2025年初,在马里和尼日利亚的带领下,在不稳定和不断变化的网络威胁动机的驱动下,西非在马里和尼日利亚的带领下,DDoS袭击事件激增,持续时间较长,复杂性增加。 West Africa saw a surge in DDoS attacks in early 2025, led by Mali and Nigeria, with longer durations and increased complexity, driven by instability and shifting cyber threat motives.

新的NETSCOUT报告显示,2025年初整个西非的DDoS袭击事件急剧上升,科特迪瓦、布基纳法索和马里面临的袭击时间最长,达7小时,而马里则从115起增至4 145起。 A new NETSCOUT report reveals a sharp rise in DDoS attacks across West Africa in early 2025, with Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, and Mali facing the longest attacks—averaging up to seven hours—while Mali saw a surge from 115 to 4,145 incidents. 尼日利亚记录了最复杂的袭击,其中一次多达23个矢量,并经历了以美容院和消费电子产品为目标的不寻常事件。 Nigeria recorded the most complex attacks, with up to 23 vectors in one event, and experienced unusual targeting of beauty salons and consumer electronics. 相比之下,加纳、利比里亚和喀麦隆的袭击事件大幅减少。 In contrast, Ghana, Liberia, and Cameroon saw significant declines in attacks. 报告将马里对政治不稳定和网络安全薄弱的脆弱性联系起来,同时指出网络威胁已转向干扰而非数据盗窃。 The report links Mali’s vulnerability to political instability and weak cybersecurity, while noting a shift in cyber threats toward disruption rather than data theft.
