Different Types of Cyber-Attacks

There are a lot of types of cyber attacks, but the most common ones take the form of denial of service attack and malware. On one hand, the denial of service attack blocks access to systems, networks, platforms, services or applications. This attack functions by occupying these resources so they become burnt out, preventing the users from accessing it.

On the other hand, malware such as viruses, trojan horses and worms etc. are used to infect the systems. The malware is being shared through the use of emails or external memory devices. These are seemingly normal programs that begin running in the background of your system without even realizing, making the attack really smooth.
