The Government seeks to suppress criticism and repression of opponents, they joined in the existing review process distributed denial of service attack (DDOS), said security researcher Jose Nazario at Source Boston Security Showcase session. In DDOS attack, a group accused of being used for malicious purposes botnet computer components, while trying to connect to a victim's Web site.
