Interruption

Interruption-

Interruption attacks cause our assets to become unusable or unavailable for our use, on a temporary or permanent basis.  Interruption attacks often affect availability but can be an attack on integrity as well. In the case of a DoS attack on  a mail  server, we would  classify this  as an  availability  attack.  In the case of an  attacker  manipulating the  processes on  which  a database runs  in  order to  prevent  access to  the  data  it contains,  we might  consider  this  an  integrity attack, due to the possible  loss or corruption of data,  or we might  consider  it a combination of the two. We might also consider such a database attack to be a modification attack rather than an interruption attack
