Russian internet giant Yandex has been the target of a record-breaking distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack by a new botnet called Mēris. The botnet is believed to have pummeled the company’s web infrastructure with millions of HTTP requests, before hitting a peak of 21.8 million requests per second (RPS), dwarfing a recent botnet-powered attack that came to light last month, bombarding an unnamed Cloudflare customer in the financial industry with 17.2 million RPS.

What if I were to tell you that there’s big money to be made from hacking Facebook and Google, but not necessarily in the way you might imagine? So far this year, Google hackers have earned more than $3.5 million doing just that. As for Facebook, it made payments of just under $2 million last year.
