The internet is swamped with confusing language, acronyms, initialisms, tech-talk and general waffle and nonsense.
Such as DDOS – a distributed denial of service attack. Neither waffle nor nonsense but confusing tech-talk.
Possibly motivated by revenge, blackmail or activism, these are cyber attacks organised by people who want to make a machine, network or website unavailable by flooding it with ‘requests’ (traffic/visitors) that eventually overload it and bring it down.
The flood of traffic comes from many sources, therefore making it very hard or impossible to stop.
