A DDoS attack is a deliberate attack against a server, a processor or the complete data network, with the help of botnets. As a result of gaining sustained access to the target, this quickly leads to an overload of a website or the complete network infrastructure. DDoS attacks are also occurring increasingly frequently in connection with blackmailing the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
