Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a type of cyber attack where multiple systems flood a targeted website or server with traffic, making it difficult or impossible to access. This can be used to disrupt the normal functioning of a website or prevent access to it altogether. The repetitive advertisements and surveys on Andrew's blog may be a result of this type of attack. A rootkit (A) is a type of malware that allows an attacker to access a computer system while hiding their presence. A logic bomb attack (C) involves the insertion of malicious code that executes at a specific time or condition, causing damage to a system. A cyberespionage incident (D) involves the theft of sensitive information from a targeted organization or individual. None of these options seem to fit the scenario described in the question.
