Summary:

• **What is a DDoS Attack?** A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is when bad actors try to knock a website offline by sending it so much fake traffic that real users can't access it. Think of it like trying to enter a store, but so many people are blocking the doorway that nobody can get in.

• **Growing Threats in 2025:** According to Cloudflare's report, DDoS attacks are becoming more common and more powerful than ever before. Companies need to protect their websites and online services better, kind of like how buildings need security guards to keep unwanted visitors out.
