DDoS attack
Distributed denial of service. There are cyber-criminals who infect and harvest unprotected connected devices – computers, phones and many IoT devices. They create a so-called botnet; this is the network of controlled devices that they can use to start the attack. They sell such a service (DDoS attack) on illegal web markets.Once the attack is purchased, the cyber-criminal activates the botnet and directs massive traffic to the target. The traffic is significant and last for long enough to bring down the network of the victim.
How to protect ourselves from DDoS attacks?
You can stop the DDoS attacks by using a DDoS Protection. It will filter the incoming traffic, halting the malicious one and allowing the regular. It does it by analyzing the requests that come through the DNS servers and blocking the damaged or uncompleted ones.
