Definition of DDoS attack

DDoS attacks target websites and servers by disrupting network services in an attempt to drain an application's resources. Criminals carrying out these attacks overwhelm websites with misdirected traffic, causing them to function poorly or go offline completely.

How DDoS attacks work

During a DDoS attack, a series of robots or botnets overwhelm a website or service with HTTP requests and traffic. Essentially, during an attack, multiple computers attack a single computer, pushing out legitimate users. As a result, service may be delayed or interrupted for a period of time.

During an attack, it is also possible for hackers to infiltrate databases to access sensitive information. DDoS attacks can exploit security vulnerabilities and attack any endpoint that is publicly accessible over the Internet.

Denial of service attacks can last for hours or even days. These cyberattacks can also cause multiple breaches in a single attack. Both personal and corporate devices are vulnerable to such attacks.
