This is when people make a
website become unavailable. It all starts when the person trying to destroy the
website sends a fake email to a computer user asking for approval by asking
questions and then the computer user sends something back it allows the person
trying to make the website unavailable access to the server to disable the
website. There are several reasons why these types of attack might be made.
This includes an example like; a criminal might attempt to blackmail an online
retail company by threatening to attack the site unless given a large sum of
money. I personally think this is cruel and greedy over money. Sometimes
political sites are attacked in this way by people who don’t agree with the
political views expressed on the sites.
