DDOS Attack

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious assault aimed at disrupting the normal operation of a targeted server, service, or network by inundating it with an overwhelming volume of internet traffic. These attacks are orchestrated by deploying a large number of compromised devices, often referred to as "botnets," which are controlled remotely by the attacker. The coordinated flood of traffic generated by these botnets is directed towards the target, saturating its network bandwidth, overwhelming its computing resources, and causing the targeted service to become inaccessible to legitimate users.
