ddos attacks
DDoS attacks, short for Distributed Denial of Service attacks, are malicious attempts to overwhelm a targeted computer system or network by flooding it with a massive volume of internet traffic. This flood of traffic, generated by multiple sources, overloads the system's resources and makes it unable to respond to legitimate user requests, rendering the targeted service unavailable.
