【 摘 要 】

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack harms the digital availability in Internet. The user’s perspective of getting quick and effective services may be badly hit by the DDoS attackers. There are several reports of DDoS attack incidences that have caused devastating effects on the user and web services in the Internet world. In the present digital world dominated by wireless, mobile and IoT devices, the numbers of users are increasing day by day. Most of the users are novice and therefore their devices either fell prey to DDoS attacks or unknowingly add themselves to the DDoS attack Army. We soon will witness the 5G mobile revolution but there are reports that 5G networks are also falling prey to DDoS attacks and hence, the realization of DoS attack as a threat needs to be understood. The paper targets to assess the DDoS attack threat. It identifies the impact of attack and also reviews existing Indian laws.
