Ddos is a strong way to put this. Are we talking malware that is sending thousands of requests per device, or a bug from a connectivity issue?

- Jtsummers 5y agoIt's still a DDoS, just not an attack. Slashdotting a site is a DDoS, but usually not intended as a deliberate attack. Now take every WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger user, every app that uses FB for user authentication, every site that does the same, every app and site that serves FB ads, every app and site that uses FB for metrics, and we have an unintentional DDoS just waiting to happen.
- tantalor 5y agoThe word "attack" has multiple definitions, including "act harmfully on" e.g., a heart attack. It does not require intent or aggression.
