There are many different types of cyber security attacks, and each one can be devastating to a business or individual. Here are three of the most common types of attacks:
- Malware Attacks: This type of attack is when malicious software, or malware, is installed on a victimโs computer without their knowledge. Once the malware is in place, it can be used to collect sensitive information from the victimโs machine, or even take control of it entirely.
- Phishing Attacks: Phishing attacks are designed to trick victims into giving up sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an email or other communication. These messages often look very realistic, and can be difficult to spot if youโre not paying close attention.
- Denial-of-Service Attacks: A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. This type of attack can render a website inaccessible for legitimate users, and cause significant financial damage to the organization that owns it.
