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.
