Explanation

A Denial of Service (DoS) attack works by flooding a targeted machine or network with superfluous requests in order to overload systems and prevent legitimate users from accessing services. Phishing and using trusted brands to steal info are forms of social engineering, not DoS attacks. Sharing details is a user behavior rather than an external cyberattack.
