Analogy/Comparison

A DDoS attack is like thousands of people trying to get into a small store all at once, blocking the entrance so regular customers can’t get in to buy anything.

Why It Matters

These large attacks can shut down a business’s website or online services, causing them to lose money and customers. For example, if an online store is hit, customers can’t buy products, leading to lost sales and a damaged reputation.
