As more businesses turn to the online world, cybercrimes continue to increase by the day. Here are the top online threats that every user should know about:
Malware is intrusive software designed to damage and destroy mobile and computer systems. Malware stands for ‘malicious software’ and can spread through networks and access your data. Common types of malware include viruses, worms, spyware, adware, and ransomware.
Phishing attacks are the practice of sending fraudulent communications that appear to come from a reputable source. Usually performed via email, the aim is to steal sensitive data – such as credit card and login information, or install malware on a device. Phishing is a common type of cyberattack that everyone should be aware of to protect their privacy and data.
Ransomware is malicious software that gains access to sensitive information within a system, encrypts that information so that the user cannot access it, and then demands a financial payout for the data to be released. Ransomware is commonly known for being part of a phishing scam; the user will download the ransomware if they click the disguised link.
Botnets are networks of hijacked computer devices used to carry out various scams and cyberattacks. Formed from the words ‘robot’ and ‘network’, the bots serve as a tool to automate mass cyber attacks – such as data theft, server crashing, and malware distribution.
