With the recent DDOS attack on a country that’s in the Korean Peninsula, I was wondering how this actually happens and how it takes down the entire internet infrastructure?

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the a website or server, by overwhelming it with a flood of bot requests for access.

If a thousand bots constantly attempt to access the website, the server doesnt have any bandwidth to give access to *real people* trying to use the site.
