What is a DDoS attack?
The Distributed Denial of Service attack, more commonly known as a DDoS attack, is a serious cyber threat that cyber criminals often initiate to their victims. Through this cyber-attack, they overwhelm the server, system, or network of the victim. The DDoS attack involves numerous devices, also known as a botnet, that send massive amounts of fraudulent traffic to the target. Eventually, the victim gets flooded and unable to operate.
