What is a DDoS attack? DDoS attacks or “Distributed Denial-of-Service” are attacks on networks. Because servers or networks can only process a certain number of requests. Hackers then use botnets to flood servers with requests until the server crashes.
So-called “zombie networks” with infected systems are usually used for this purpose. Such networks can target fraudsters in order to overload networks. By the way, this includes not only computers, but also many other household appliances:
