2/An organic DDOS example would be, at midnight Taylor Swift tickets go on sale online. Then at midnight all the Taylor Swift fans go to the website to buy tickets. It crashes because the server can't handle all those people visiting to try to buy tickets all at once.
Malicious example would be someone mad at a website and sends a lot of fake traffic to a website so the website can't handle it so legitimate users can't access it.
