What is a denial of service attack? Your questions answered

The Australian Bureau of Statistics pulled down its census website last night after it was subject to "four denial of service attacks". "It makes me think it was more of a technical attack rather than just a flood of pretending to be 10 million users," Mr Phair said. Mr MacGibbon said on the fourth attempt of a denial of service, the geo-blocking service "fell over". " Mr Phair said a traditional denial of service attack isn't what you think of as a "hack".
