Denail of service attacks!

DOS

A Denial-of-service attack is when a person or multiple people try and send down a network or website either temporarily or altogether. it all attacks the server causing it to catch onto friends which can then send down the network causing regular users not to use it. it's called  a DOS attack because when people try to get onto it you can't and it denials the service you are trying to use also the people who are doing it are attacking the service so it will deny you trying to get onto  it! it is mainly hackers which do this because they can bring it too their knees and access their details whilst it's down. It's a very hard thing to pull off but many do every day!
