Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Denial-of-service (DoS) occurs when a web site receives an overwhelming number of information requests, such as merely logging on to a site. This can result in the system being unable to respond to legitimate requests, effectively denying service to users. Global denial-of-service (GDoS) and Full denial-of-service (FDoS) are not commonly used terms in the cyber security community, and a global attack could refer to any type of attack targeting multiple countries or regions.
