Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 497 discussion

The scenario described in the question is indicative of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. In a DDoS attack, the attacker floods a target system or network with a massive amount of traffic, overwhelming its resources and causing services to become unavailable to legitimate users. In this case, the security analyst identified and blocked a specific source IP address involved in the attack, but the attack is still ongoing from multiple other source IP addresses. DDoS attacks typically involve a large number of compromised or maliciously controlled devices (such as botnets) that are distributed across various locations, making it difficult to stop the attack by simply blocking individual sources.

DDOS Distributed sources IP Address contribute to this attack.
