Denial of Service

The subject initiates or facilitates a denial of service attack targeting public-facing organizational services, such as corporate websites, client portals, or externally accessible APIs, through external means. This may include direct volumetric attacks, abuse of known application logic weaknesses, or orchestration of resource exhaustion via cloud interfaces or third-party integrations. In some cases, the subject may coordinate with external actors to mask attribution, prolong disruption, or cause reputational damage.

The subject initiates actions that degrade, overwhelm, or disable internal services, applications, or systems, denying legitimate access. These incidents may involve:
 

• Excessive or malformed queries to internal databases
• Overuse of automated scripts against internal APIs or systems
• Misconfiguration or manual tampering with internal service dependencies (e.g., message queues, schedulers)
• Saturation of internal network bandwidth or I/O on shared infrastructure
