About this episode
As we rely more on the internet, cyber attacks become more common. These attacks, which range from simple annoyances to major threats, can lead to theft, fraud, or significant disruption to personal and business activities. In this article, we'll break down the 15 most common cyber attacks and see how to prevent them.
What is a Cyber Attack?
A cyber attack is when attackers try to infiltrate your computer or network to steal data, cause damage, or disrupt operations. It often starts with unauthorized access, leading to more severe attacks on data or systems. The primary goal of these attacks is usually to access, change, or destroy sensitive information, extort money from users, or interrupt normal business processes.
