Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/06/2012 -- Because Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can affect any website, they are considered one of the most common and harmful threats on the Internet.

When successful, DDoS attacks flood a website with more traffic than it can handle, making the website unavailable to its visitors for up to hours at a time. As a result of DDoS attacks, businesses can lose money, experience costly damages, and garner negative publicity.
