What is that?

* DDoS = Distributed Denial of Service attack
* Malicious hacker uses virus to hijack numerous computers
* On command these zombie computers flood the targeted website with useless data
* The target's internet servers are overwhelmed by junk data
* Customers have trouble using the targeted website
* Targeted website can be slow or inaccessible for days
* Fighting DoS attacks is laborious and costly
* Because the zombies are distributed across the internet, finding the attacker is difficult
