It's usually called DDOS, as any Denial of Service attack is carried out by a "Distributed" network of compromised machines, aka a "botnet".

So DOS /= DDOS.

No need to change anything.

Actually there're 3 different things.
DOS is default operating system
DoS is denial of service
and DDoS is distributed denial of service attack (usually botnets)

And this should be locked for spam
