It's not every day your name is on the top of the Google Cloud blog. Google's engineers wrote about the ginormous 6.3 terabits per second attack on KrebsOnSecurity.com on May 12.

"In the May incident, the attacker sent large data packets to random ports at a rate of approximately 585 million packets per second, which is over 1,000 times the usual rate for KrebsOnSecurity."
