First of it's kind that it targeted a country. No, at the very least, Moonlight Maze and Titan Rain came before. But by today's standards, Moonlight Maze would have been trivially small. I don't have any numbers for Titan Rain. Anyone know how it compared to the 4mpps of this attack?
Don't forget the Pakistan/India cyber-skimishes. Substantial parts of their Internet infrastructure was successfully attacked for months at a time. Periodically, China, Japan and South Korea seem to have rotating grudge matches between their hacking groups. And in wars with bullets, there was Yugoslavia and Radio B92 all-media attacks; and pro-Chinese groups launched several attacks after the US bombed the Chincese embassy in Belgrade. There have been so many cyber-protests of many different US policies for many years even keeping a list would be a lot of work. And even some pro-US groups launching cyber-attacks to protest policies of other countries.
