Discussion
Which of the following is a common type of cyber attack that uses multiple compromised devices to overwhelm a target ?
Answer: B
The attack is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS).
In a DDoS attack, many compromised machines (a botnet) send traffic to one target at the same time, overwhelming its bandwidth or resources so that genuine users cannot reach it.
Phishing tricks people into revealing information, SQL injection inserts malicious SQL into an application's queries, and ransomware encrypts a victim's data for a ransom; none relies on many devices flooding a target.
