Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks work by flooding a targeted server or network with large sustained volumes of traffic. Distribution of the attacks usually involve many compromised computers on diverse networks around the planet. This prevents any easy end-customer mitigation, achieved by blocking certain networks, countries, etc.

To businesses, the impact of DDoS attacks is loss of sales and dissatisfied customers. To media and social groups, DDoS attacks effectively silence your voice. To governments, DDoS attacks can disrupt communication to public and employees. To gamers, DDoS attacks mean your competition won.
