What is a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack

A DDoS attack overwhelms your website with traffic from thousands of compromised computers or IoT devices. This makes your Joomla website slow, unresponsive, or completely offline.

Why It’s Dangerous:

• Causes downtime and loss of visitors
• Can be used to distract you while other attacks occur
• May damage your site’s reputation if prolonged

How to Protect Yourself:

• Use hosting with DDoS protection
• Enable rate limiting and firewall rules
• Use CDN services like Cloudflare
• Monitor sudden spikes in traffic
