In recent years, numerous high-profile cyber attacks have resulted in sensitive data being exposed. For example, the 2017 Equifax breach compromised the personal data of roughly 143 million consumers, including birth dates, addresses and Social Security numbers

1)MALWARE is malicious software such as spyware, ransomware, viruses and worms. Malware is activated when a user clicks on a malicious link or attachment, which leads to installing dangerous software. (5/n)

2)EMOTET-The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) describes Emotet as “an advanced, modular banking Trojan that primarily functions as a downloader or dropper of other banking Trojans. Emotet continues to be among the most costly and destructive malware.” (6/n)

3)A denial of service (DoS) is a type of cyber attack that floods a computer or network so it can’t respond to requests. A distributed DoS (DDoS) does the same thing, but the attack originates from a computer network. (7/n)

A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack occurs when hackers insert themselves into a two-party transaction. After interrupting the traffic, they can filter and steal data, MITM attacks often occur when a visitor uses an unsecured public Wi-Fi network. (8/n)

Phishing attacks use fake communication, such as an email, to trick the receiver into opening it and carrying out the instructions inside, such as providing a credit card number “The goal is to steal sensitive data like credit card and login information or to install malware(9/n)

A Structured Query Language(SQL)injection is a type of attack that results from inserting malicious code into a server that uses SQL. the server releases information. Submitting the malicious code can be as simple as entering it into a vulnerable website search box(10/n)
