Does Distributed Denial of Service attack the integrity of a system?

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack primarily targets the availability of a system rather than its integrity. By overwhelming a system with traffic, it renders the services inaccessible to legitimate users. While the integrity of data might not be directly compromised during a DDoS attack, the disruption can lead to potential secondary effects, such as incomplete transactions or loss of data if the system becomes unresponsive. Thus, while the primary focus is on availability, there can be indirect implications for integrity as well.
