Your friend committed a _________ when he flooded an internet site with emails and made the website "crash" because the company refused to pay him a bribe.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

What your friend did is commonly known as a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, where the perpetrator floods a website or network with a massive amount of data or requests, essentially overwhelming and crashing the system. It is often done as a form of extortion or revenge, as in this case where the company refused to pay a bribe. The other answer choices are not applicable in this scenario - manipulation-of-service attack is not a commonly used term, "one-off-kamikaze" attack is not a recognized type of attack, and phishing attack involves tricking people into divulging sensitive information rather than overwhelming a system.
