Virtual sit-in
A form of electronic civil disobedience deriving its name from the sit-ins popular during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, a virtual sit-in attempts to re-create that same action digitally using a DDoS. During a virtual sit-in, hundreds of activists attempt to access a target website simultaneously and repetitively.
