An unknown individual launches a series of attacks against the Web sites of Prime Sales Corporation. The attacks significantly slow the sites, leading to $100 million in damage in terms of lost work time, lost revenue, site repair costs, and other expenses. The attacker does not intend to profit from the onslaught and in fact does not realize any financial benefit from the effects. How is this attack most likely orchestrated? Who is most likely to engage in this act—that is, whose habits and limitations are clearly suited to such conduct—and why? Solution Most probably the website is slowed by a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack. In this attack the hacker sends multiple fake requests from different servers with the intention of slowing down the service to legitimate users. The most likely suspect is an anonymous hacking group. These groups are formed by professional hackers who come together for a common cause. The most likely reason might to gain attention or the group considers something the company is doing as against their beliefs..
