This post introduces JavaScript-based DDoS attacks as a new and evolving threat. It explains how malicious JavaScript can be used to enlist unsuspecting web users into DDoS attacks, either through compromised websites, hijacked third-party scripts, or man-in-the-middle attacks. It also highlights Subresource Integrity (SRI) as a proposed solution to mitigate risks from compromised third-party scripts and emphasizes the importance of HTTPS for preventing man-in-the-middle attacks and protecting against JavaScript DDoS.
