2. DDoS Attack – Distributed Denial of Service Attack
The most infamous kind of attack is the DOS attack. Any hacker can bombard the user’s website with a lot of requests, and cause the server to crash. They are used to take down a website, and it can also attack your email account.
When your system fails, the hacker continues to compromise the entire site or some functions that they need. If this attack hits your website, you need to recover as soon as you can. This is the most frequently used method for hacking.
If an attacker is unable to gain access to a machine, they will most probably just crash the machine to accomplish a denial of service attack, this one of the most used methods for website hacking.
