DDoS Attacks Explained: How Hackers Overwhelm Websites

Ever wondered how websites suddenly crash or slow down? It could be a DDoS attack—one of the most powerful cyber threats. Imagine a highway getting flooded with thousands of cars, blocking real traffic. That’s exactly how DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks work, overloading websites with fake requests until they become inaccessible.

Unlike a DoS attack, which comes from one source, DDoS attacks use botnets—infected devices worldwide—to launch massive, coordinated traffic floods, making them much harder to stop.
