What exactly is a DDoS attack?
A DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attack is a type of cyber-attack in which the central server is constantly inundated with data requests. The goal of such attacks is to bring down the target system and business. A DDoS assault occurs when hackers interrupt the services of a host connected to the Internet, rendering a network resource (a website or computer system) unavailable to its users. It is accomplished by inundating or crashing the website with excessive traffic.
