For the lot of us who rely on the Internet to get news updates, we are made familiar with Distributed Denial of System (DDoS) attacks. Anonymous being on the headlines continuously for months made this kind of online crime conspicuous, even ushering it unexpectedly to the realm of mainstream.
DDoS attacks have been used not just by the aforementioned group but also by other groups and individuals for various reasons: making a stand for what they believe in, showing support for the beliefs of others, or doing it "just because". We can't deny the fact that names of companies that fell prey on DDoS attacks were huge and they encompass industries, but one cannot totally eliminate the very likely possibility of small- and medium-sized businesses being targeted as well.
Those whose businesses have an online presence are aware and worried, and if possible, they want to be protected from DDoS attacks. So how can this be done? InfoWorld published an article that tells business people just that. You can check it out here.
