Which attack is being used when threat actors initiate a simultaneous, coordinated attack from multiple source machines?

Address Spoofing Attack
Amplification and Reflection Attacks
ICMP Attack
MiTM Attack
Session Hijacking

Explanation: In an amplification attack, the threat actor forwards ICMP echo request messages to many hosts. These messages contain the source IP address of the victim. All of these hosts then reply to the spoofed IP address of the victim to overwhelm it, creating a reflection attack.
