I am not aware how the tangle architecture specifically is prone to Ddos. If you have any sources on that I would love to see them.

Individual nodes can receive too many requests and be over-worked. The amount of nodes in the entire network can handle a very large load however.

Here is a reddit post talking about the same subject:
