An NXDOMAIN (Non-Existent Domain) DDoS attack is a type of cyberattack that targets the Domain Name System (DNS). In this attack, malicious actors flood a DNS server with a massive number of requests for domains that don’t exist. This overwhelming influx of requests can significantly strain the server’s resources, leading to performance degradation, service disruptions, and potential website outages.
