Question

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.

DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can include computers and other networked resources such as IoT devices.

From a high level, a DDoS attack is like a traffic jam clogging up with highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its desired destination.

TDoS is a form of Denial of Service (DoS) that affects enterprise, government, and other business voice systems. It is a significant threat to voice systems and by far the most common form of voice-based DoS. The reason for this is that the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is no longer a closed network. It heavily uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and increasingly connects to the Internet through the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).TDoS is a flood of malicious inbound calls that target public-safety response systems such as 911.

A PDOS is a cyber-crime in which an individual deliberately prevents the access of another individual or small group to online services such as email or banking.

Do you agree with the post above? why?

Answer 1

yes, there has been a lot of attempt by the competing businesses to affect or influence the business of other competition on the online by using the  Denial of Service (DoS) method in which the visitors or the customers are not provided the connection with the desired service provider or the business. This can be seen as the breach of equal playground among the business and can be seen as the threat or violation of the norm to have the equal opportunities to perform the business, This has a lot of negative effects when it comes to the managing the businesses and the business cannot connect with the customers. This has become a more serious issue with the development of the internet as at present the internet is a global network and it can be accessed from anywhere on the planet and thus it makes it quite tough to locate the source of the attack and to have the legal action against the culprit.
