In today's digital world, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for individuals, businesses, and governments alike. Cyber threats such as malware, phishing scams, data breaches, ransomware, and social engineering are constantly evolving, zero-clicks and zero-days, making it essential for everyone to stay informed and vigilant.
Malware attacks, which include viruses, worms, and trojans, can severely damage systems by corrupting files, stealing data, or taking control of devices. These attacks are widespread and can infiltrate systems through phishing emails or malicious websites or exploitable vulnerabilities, often lying dormant until activated. Phishing scams, where cybercriminals trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, have become more sophisticated, often appearing as legitimate communications from trusted organizations.
"DoS is just flooding a server with traffic" This statement is the cybersecurity equivalent of saying "viruses come from clicking on popups." It may have had merit in the early days of the internet, but today it's a painfully outdated view that does more harm than good. After all, this is NOT the 90s anymore!
Somewhere in the book of history, back in the days, when hackers were actually hackers, many things happened, good and bad, for better or worse.
