What is a DDoS attack?
A DDoS attack is a cyber attack that prevents the connection to certain servers or websites, as a result, the “legitimate users” can not access the server in question.
And although not yet confirmed anything, there are various sources that speculate that the united States might be going through a DDoS attack, in fact, this information was endorsed by the group of cyber activists Anonymous, who had already threatened the American Union, the use of an attack of this type, however, they have expressed that, in spite of their desires, they are not behind this.
“The source of the DDoS attack in the united States is currently unknown. We speculate that it may be China, as the situation between South Korea and North Korea is deteriorating now.”, said Anonymous through a tweet.

It is worth mentioning that, although there are already several servers that have exhibited failures, this is far from being one of the largest DDoS attacks in the country of bars and stars, up to the moment.
