These types of attacks are typically launched from computer robots (bots) which are exploited computers which have an Internet connection. These bots are then directed by central controllers to do the tasks assigned. These tasks vary but can include initiating a DDoS attack on a specified target. Now when the combined bandwidth of thousands of bots comes into play, any company can have their Internet connectivity partially or completely blocked.
