US Patent 11664063 Apparatuses and methods for countering memory attacks

Aggressor rows may be detected by comparing access count values of word lines to a threshold value. Based on the comparison, a word line may be determined to be an aggressor row. The threshold value may be dynamically generated, such as a random number generated by a random number generator. In some examples, a random number may be generated each time an activation command is received. Responsive to detecting an aggressor row, a targeted refresh operation may be performed.
