- In January, the web-based portal Kaveri 2.0, which streamlines the property registrations in Karnataka, faced sporadic, crippling server outages.
- As a result, property registration and document-related citizen services went almost to a standstill in the state.
- It is a “motivated Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack”.
- A DDoS attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal functioning of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic.
- Unlike a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, which typically involves a single source, a DDoS attack leverages multiple compromised systems, often infected with malware, to generate the traffic.
- These compromised systems are collectively known as a botnet.
