I mean that makes sense no? Attacks like that rely on compromised servers so it shouldn't be a big surprise large hosting provides are among the biggest attackers. Other large ISPs like digital ocean and Alibaba are among the top attackers in that attack also. I assume this attack is UDP based unlike the one you linked too.

Where are the AWS and GCP ranges then? They aren't even in the top 10 here. Its the claim hetzner is larger than AWS? I find that highly unlikely.

  We probably don't see AWS or Azure as source if these DDOS attacks because of egress costs.

    People aren't paying with their own money for DDoS machines normally. Well, maybe there are some small operations like that. But often the traffic comes from a hacked service that's a part of a bigger botnet. It may lead to a larger detection ratio on AWS/GCP, but the attackers are not paying the costs.

      Attackers aren't paying with their money, but it's important for them to go undetected. If your bandwidth is a fixed cost (ie isn't related to your actual usage) you are much less likely to keep an eye on it than if it costs an arm and a leg.
