Ddos Outage
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) outage occurs when multiple compromised systems flood a target server, service, or network with excessive traffic, overwhelming its resources and rendering it unavailable to legitimate users. This type of cyberattack exploits the architecture of the internet, making it difficult to defend against due to the distributed nature of the attacking sources. DDoS outages can disrupt online services, hinder business operations, and impact user access to websites and applications.
