A DDoS attack is a type of DoS attack in which multiple hijacked systems are used to overload system resources or network bandwidths. This makes websites and online services unreachable. For companies, this often means large financial losses due to delivery bottlenecks, for example, and major damage to their image from the perspective of customers.

    "Annoying."

    Posted 2021-07-23

    Pros: They block spam and restrict harmful comments on Akismet, which is nice. Nothing else that I can say.

    Cons: I find this annoying when they appear on my comment pages on Apple Safari, when I am trying to make a one on one chat that’s similar to Mental Therapy.
    Stressful that I have troubles with this program, because I have Autism.

    Overall: Are there any alternatives for Akismet on Apple iPhone, because I want an alternative on Apple iPhone, please?
