Why DDoS Attacks taking place?

DDoS attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic. The most palpable symptom of a DDoS attack is a site or service suddenly becoming sedate or unavailable. This genre of attacks attempts to create congestion by engrossing all available bandwidth between the target and the larger Internet.
Anybody amicable with network security is aware of the concept of denial of service (DoS), also referred to as a spoiler. It is one of the unpretentious network attacks to perpetrate because it only requires limiting access to services. This can be done by placing viruses or worm programs on your network, or by simply sending a large amount of traffic at a specific target with the intent of causing a slowdown or shutdown of wireless services. This permits attackers to hijack stratagem, view unauthorized information divulgence, and instigate backdoors into the system.
To really be effective, this type of attack requires some amount of physical access. This is required because if a user equates with a rogue access point, then is unable to perform any of their normal duties, the vulnerability will be short-lived and not that effective. However, if an attacker is able to reap access to a physical port on a company network and then hook the access point into this port, it’s possible to get devices to associate and capture data from them for an extended period of time. 
Stint a DDoS typically does not directly lead to a data breach the victim spends time and money getting services back online. Loss of business, abandoned shopping carts, frustrated users, and reputational harm are usual consequences of failing to prevent DDoS attacks. DDoS attacks aim to devastate a system with too much activity, hackers have different strategies they anticipate on to cause a distributed rebuttal of service.
