DDoS (or DoS) stands for (Distributed) Denial of Service. This is the name for a type of attack in which a certain service (for example a website) becomes unreachable for the usual customers of the service. A DDoS on a website is often performed by bombarding the website with a lot of network traffic, making it inaccessible.
