While cloud-native workloads drive adoption, the underlying routing hygiene has not kept pace, leaving infrastructure vulnerable to self-inflicted <strong>DDoS attacks</strong>. Research indicates that despite the simplicity of the fix, the community fails to prioritize these dangerous misconfigurations, allowing unnecessary load to congest links and destabilize the global internet.</p>
