| A '''DDoS''' attack is an attack where a [[server]] is flooded beyond its processing power (bandwidth and maximum simultaneous connections, typically) to take it down. Connections are spammed to a server, particularly from multiple sources (a DDoS from a single source is called a DoS), in an attempt to take it down. This is common across the internet, and DDoS attacks are often launched against anything from webservers to game servers. | | A DDoS attack is an attack where a server is flooded beyond its processing power (bandwidth and maximum simultaneous connections, typically) to take it down.

| ==DDoS Attacks in JKA==
| | In Jedi Academy, DDoS attacks got so bad that Caelum wrote an article on the subject on JKHub, [http://jkhub.org/page/index.html/_/community-news/ddos-attacks-and-their-effects-on-the-community-r69/ DDOS attacks and their effects on the community], which elaborates more on the effect on Jedi Academy servers and players. |
| In 2012 and 2013, Jedi Academy has seen a large number of DDoS attacks, which has caused a great deal of problems for many [[Clan|clans]] and [[server|servers]], in many cases bringing them completely down for weeks at a time. Attacks seem to have been coming from a number of sources; An unknown [[hacker]] was systematically attacking servers listed on [http://www.gametracker.com gametracker.com] as well as unknown groups making personal attacks against [[clan|clans]]. | |
