CYBER SECURITY SIMPLIFIED
WHAT ARE CYBER SECURITY THREATS?
Cyber Security threats are deliberate actions aimed at stealing data, causing damage, or disrupting computing systems. They come in various forms, including malware, social engineering, man-in-the-middle attacks, denial-of-service attacks, and injection attacks. These threats can stem from hostile nation states, terrorist groups, individual hackers, or even trusted insiders like employees or contractors who misuse their access for malicious purposes.
VIRUS
WORMS
Malware exploiting software weaknesses to access an operating system. It can carry out attacks like distributed denial of service (DDoS) once inside a network.
RANSOMWARE
Denies access to systems or data through encryption. Attackers demand a ransom for a decryption key, but paying doesn't always restore access.
PHISHING
Fraudulent emails posing as trustworthy sources. Phishing casts a wide net or targets specific users, like "spear phishing" or "whaling" aimed at high-value individuals.
BAITING
Lures users with promises like free gift cards. Victims often provide sensitive information like login credentials.
SPYWARE
Accesses user data, including sensitive information like passwords. It can affect desktop browsers, mobile phones, and apps.
