      What is a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack?

      Imagine you're trying to order a pizza online, but the website keeps crashing because it's overloaded with traffic. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is like a digital mob trying to overwhelm a website or online service with a flood of requests. This flood of traffic can make the website slow down or even crash completely, preventing legitimate users from accessing it.

      DDoS attacks can be very disruptive and expensive for businesses. Hackers might launch them for different reasons, such as extortion or simply to cause chaos. There are ways to protect against DDoS attacks, but they can be complex and require ongoing vigilance.
