Downloading software that turns unprotected computers into zombies is necessary for a distributed denial-of-service attack to be successful, and the hacker who is behind it must be malicious. Should owners of zombie computers be fined or subjected to some other form of punishment in order to encourage increased computer security? So, why?
A successful distributed denial-of-service attack requires the malicious
hacker to download software that transforms unprotected computers into
zombies. Should zombie computer owners be penalised or otherwise
punished to encourage greater computer security? So, why?
Is it possible for a single person to carry out an attack that results in a distributed denial of service?
