Denial of service attack (DoS attack)

=== DoS attack- is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a resource they would normally expect to have. This would be bad for Carmen to have because this could create difficulty for the customers to access the website. To keep happy and returning customers, she will need to stay protected from this.-MAD ===

DoS attack: an attempt to make a service unavailable to a user. It is a type of vandalism which bombards servers with traffic. Carmen would need protection against this on her website so that her customers can access her website and they do not become frustrated. This is another reason why Carmen needs to use HTTPS and not HTTP. RP
