Someone just DMed to talk about types of attacks. Technology is constantly evolving, and that's why there are always new methods of attacks. As tech advances, attackers also find new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to systems and data in your network.
Social engineering attacks - manipulating users into divulging sensitive information through deception or psychological manipulation. There are over 12 types of attacks, but most commonly used is phishing.
Phishing Attacks: These are fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Phishing attacks usually come in the form of emails, pop-up ads, or messages that appear to be from a trusted source. Phishing is a type of SEO
Malware Attacks: Malware is malicious software that is designed to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system. Malware can be delivered via email, downloaded from a website, or through malicious links. So you all just download stuffs randomly on Internet?🤔
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: These attacks occur when a third party intercepts and alters the communication between two parties. This can be done to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial data.
Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks: These attacks involve overwhelming a server or network with traffic, rendering it unable to function. This can be done using various techniques, such as flooding the network with traffic or exploiting vulnerabilities in the network infrastructure.
Password Attacks: These attacks involve attempting to guess or crack a user's password to gain unauthorized access to their accounts. This can be done using brute force attacks, where an attacker tries multiple combinations of passwords until the correct one is found.
SQL Injection Attacks: These attacks involve exploiting vulnerabilities in a website's database to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks - injecting malicious scripts into a website to steal user data or perform other malicious activities.
Drive-by download attacks - downloading malware onto a user's device without their knowledge or consent through malicious links or ads.
Drive-by download attacks - downloading malware onto a user's device without their knowledge or consent through malicious links or ads.
Ransomware attacks - malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key.
DNS spoofing attacks - redirecting a user's traffic to a fake website to steal their sensitive information.
DNS spoofing attacks - redirecting a user's traffic to a fake website to steal their sensitive information.
Email spoofing attacks - forging email addresses to trick users into opening malicious attachments or clicking on malicious links.
Wi-Fi eavesdropping attacks - intercepting a user's Wi-Fi traffic to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials and financial data.

Botnet attacks - using a network of infected devices to carry out coordinated cyberattacks, such as DDoS attacks or spam campaigns.
Brute-force attacks - attempting to guess a password by trying various combinations of characters until the correct one is found.

Trojan horse attacks - malware that appears to be a legitimate program but contains hidden malicious code.
Zero-day attacks - exploiting previously unknown vulnerabilities in software or hardware before a patch or fix is available.
Zero-day attacks - exploiting previously unknown vulnerabilities in software or hardware before a patch or fix is available.
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks - a prolonged and targeted attack that aims to steal sensitive information or disrupt operations.
Fileless attacks - using legitimate software or tools to execute malicious code without leaving traces on the system's hard drive.

Finally, to protect yourself from these attacks, it's crucial to stay informed about the latest cybersecurity threats, use strong passwords, keep your software up-to-date, and be cautious of suspicious links, emails, and websites.
Additionally, you can use antivirus and anti-malware software, avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive activities, VPNs and enable two-factor authentication where possible.
I'll do a thread about social engineering attacks since they are the most common attacks

I will also do a thread on how to stay safe while using the Internet.
N/B - No one is secure while using the Internet. Even hackers themselves are not secure, but it's important to always take the safety measures.
The safety of your information starts with you.
