That graph is useful for the people who think DDoS is the biggest issue or even a big issue typically: https://www.bdc.ca/globalassets/digizuite/55250-canadian-sma... "Percentage of Canadian small businesses that have experienced a cybersecurity incident"

The data from the graph: Phishing 61%; Malware 27%; Network intrusion 12%; Ransomware 12%; Data breach 7%; DDoS 5%; No cybersecurity incident 27%.
What exactly are you arguing? I already said 5%. Your personal experience of DDoS being super rare doesn't seem to match the real world.
replyLiterally the graph you posted agrees with me. Most "cyber attacks" are phishing according to that graph, which I'd argue is less of an technological attack and more social engineering.
replySecond most answered option was "No cybersecurity incident" shared with "Malware". The least experienced type of attack was DDoS, which is exactly what I claimed too, DDoS attacks are way less common than the internet at large seems to believe.

What I claimed was that DDoS attacks where the attackers pipes are larger/can send more traffic than your pipe can handle, is extremely rare. The typical script kiddie DDoS which is more easily managed, is much more common, in that I agree.
