A new report on online security has brought to the limelight a new type of threat, to the internet, known as the DDOS-Distributed Denial of Service.
It is a cyber-weapon which is being used to shut down/close large websites by overwhelming their networks. In these attacks, computer networks are hijacked and data packets are spread all over the internet in a random manner which inundates the capacity of the networks of various websites and brings them down. This data-flooding is steadily on rise and has now even started to affect those organizations & operators which form the very backbone of the internet.
The only known way to prevent this attack of data is to have networks of higher capacity which would be capable to absorb the data-shocks generated against them.
Till then surf the web!
