Which network attack is described by the following statement? "At least five Russian major banks came under a continuous hacker attack, although online client services were not disrupted. The attack came from a wide-scale botnet involving at least 24,000 computers, located in 30 countries."
A:    Man-in-the-Middle Attack
B:    Sniffer Attack
C:    Buffer Overflow
D:    DDoS
Explanation: A man in the middle (MITM) attack is a general term for when a perpetrator positions himself in a conversation between a user and an application—either to eavesdrop or to impersonate one of the parties, making it appear as if a normal exchange of information is underway. Sniffing Attack: This attack refers to stealing or interception of data by catching network traffic using a sniffer (an application for collecting network packets). A buffer overflow attack is a cyberattack that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability. This happens when a program writes data to a buffer beyond its allocated memory, overwriting adjacent memory locations. A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a cyber attack that makes a system unavailable to its intended users.In a DDoS attack, threat actors force multiple systems to send requests to a web server. The goal is to crash, distract, or disrupt the server enough that users are unable to connect to it.
