Original Note:
This is not how a DDoS attack works. A DDoS attack cannot interrupt a single stream without attacking the router. A true DDoS attack would shut down the entire site. This same issue happened back in 2023 when Ron DeSantis announced his presidential run. https://fortune.com/2023/05/25/elon-musk-twitter-ron-desantis-presidential-campaign-glitch-servers-trump/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack
