For instance, Disk defragmenter in Windows takes up a lot of CPU resources when running....

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) today is known more for making the funny animated images we share with each other than for its original purpose. In fact, most people using it today aren’t even old enough to remember its release. In response to the GIF turning 30, I thought it would be a nice idea to share a couple of fun facts about this image format. 1. It Was Released Around the Time of Windows 2....

Perhaps the power went out halfway through saving, or an elderly hard drive hiccupped in the middle of a disk operation. Or loading and saving big files resulted in a truncated save. If you use some kind of file format interchange, your legacy versions of Photoshop may cough on things like smart objects....

In effect, many (if not most) DDoS attacks were carried out in this manner, and most hackers still use some form or another of the same methodology (e.g. infect a bunch of computers, then send them out to attack).
