BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/Asia News Network): Brunei Darussalam is the third highest source of global Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in 2021, said United National Networks Sdn Bhd (UNN) in a statement on Sunday (Feb 20).

A DDoS attack is when a party with malicious intent remotely controls a network of hijacked computers and devices infected with malware to overwhelm Internet traffic going to servers of a business, said UNN, adding that the cyberattack ultimately denies users from accessing information systems, devices, or other network resources from the targetted server.
