Cybersecurity threats can get complicated in a hurry, but most are easier to avoid once you know what to look for. Here are the top threats you should be aware of.
Phishing is when someone pretents to have an urgent need via email, text message , or phone call in order for you to make a rash decision to act quickly without fully thinking it through. Maybe you ignore a certificate warning or skip a verification step.
Malware refers to malicious software that makes its way onto servers and hardware.
It has several uses, such as scanning databases, skimming data, and logging keystrokes to send data to cybercriminals.
Ransomware attacks are more complex to pull off than malware attacks. Often an attacker will spend weeks snooping around
a victim’s system undetected, carefully designing the attack after understanding which files and applications are most vital.
