Types of DDoS Attacks

Unless you've specifically set up protection, your online business is vulnerable to DDoS attacks. DDoS attacks are becoming more and more common, and are shutting down bigger and bigger sites. You may remember when they took down Mastercard in 2011 - not a small company. You need to protect yourself, but you have to pay attention to what types of attacks you're protecting yourself form.

- Vulnerabilities in your site

By quickly testing for any flaws in your operating system, it's possible to find a way into your server to steal, crash, or delete anything inside.

Spyware Zombies

Have you ever had spyware in your computer? That same software can be used to remote-control your computer. By attacking from many computers at once, hackers become much harder to block.

Bandwidth attacks

By having many computers attempt to download any and all of the files on your site over and over again, your computer runs out of available resources for other users

SYN floods

By repeatedly pinging your server, it becomes unavailable on the network, shutting down the sites.
