By making it easier for attackers to carry out network attacks

Detailed explanation-1: -Subnetting divides broadcast domains so traffic is routed efficiently, improving speed and network performance. A subnet mask ensures that traffic remains within its designated subnet. This reduces major congestion and reduces the load imparted on the network.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the number of subnet bits increases, the number of host bits decreases. Since we have a fixed number of bits to work with in each class of network address, each bit can be used in only one way-specified by the mask.
Detailed explanation-3: -Separating out small parts of your network into subnets allows traffic to flow more quickly and to avoid taking unnecessary routes, adding traffic where it isn’t needed. In addition, subnetting helps in efficiently allocating IP addresses and prevents large numbers of IP addresses from going unused.
