When hackers use computers to launch an attack on another computer the computers used to stage the attack are known as?
zombies
Attackers can now use thousands of computers in an attack against a single computer or network?
Yes..It's called a Distributed attack. ***Robin the Dork***
When hackers use zombie computers to launch an attack on another computer or website the attack is know as what?
distributed denial-of-service attack or known as DDoS
How can we temporarily damage the computers?
You can disable all the drivers in the CMOS. You can also remove the CMOS batteryAnswer:A DOS attack will cause temporary damage to a computer, but such an attack is illegal.
How did computer viruses get their name?
A computer virus is a programme, or piece of code, that is written to interfere with, and harm, your machine. A virus can replicate itself, spread to other computers, and attack other programmes on your computer. (By attack, we mean change or delete files.) Computer viruses affect computer the same way human viruses affect us there the name has come from the anology.
What is a man-in-the-middle attack in regards to computers?
The man-in-the-middle attack is cryptography and computer security is a form of active eavesdropping in which the attacker makes independent connections with the victims and relays messages between them, making them believe that they are talking directly to each other over a private connection, when in fact the entire conversation is controlled by the attacker.
What has the author Adam Cobb written?
Adam Cobb has written: 'Australia's vulnerability to information attack' -- subject(s): Security measures, Computer security, Access control, Computer networks, Computers, Information networks
What is the difference between computer virus and a human body virus?
Computer virus' attack switches whereas human virus' affect cells.
Why do owners of computer viruses attack computers?
That's because it's either: 1. They do it for fun 2. They work for someone and that's where their income is coming or 3. They do it to get personal information

What is a computer attack?
A computer attack is basically either when a hacker is on your computer doing things that you can do. Or it can be a Virus
What is the difference between DoS and DDoS attack?
DoS (Denial of Service) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are very similar, but also different methods of attack. A DoS attack involves flooding a host with malformed or large TCP/IP packets in order to shut down the computer, website, or server. The large number of connection requests in a short amount of time renders the server basically useless as it tries to fulfill all of the requests, slowing it to a standstill. This standstill renders the server's resources unusable, hence the name Denial of Service, as computer users can no longer use the services provided. A DDoS attack is like a DoS attack but with one major difference: multiple computers launch a DoS attack against a target all at the same time. DDoS attacks are able to be done thanks to botnets, which is a network of computers that a hacker has compromised and connected them together in order to make a pool of available resources and vantage points. Once the hacker gives the signal, all of the computers in the botnet launch a DoS attack against a specified target.
