Overview:

As the Internet becomes increasingly mission-critical, business executives need to be aware of a problem that can prevent customers, partners and suppliers from doing business with them online. It is called Denial of Service (or "DDoS") in which compromised PCs controlled by remote attackers inundate a victim's network resources with the intent of crashing the victim's web or application servers - and is among the most serious threats on the Internet today. Twenty five percent of respondents to the 2006 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey performed by the Computer Security Institute had experienced a DDoS attack. While no company wants to willingly publicize it, it has taken major companies offline including: Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo, CNN and eBay.
