Blog Malware Emotet DoS Cyber Threats Attacks

Malware, Emotet, DoS - Know The Difference

Blog-Malware-Emotet-DoS-Cyber-Threats-Attacks

According to Norton.com, there are 2,200 cyber security attacks per day. Roughly equating to one every 39 seconds. A cyber security threat refers to any possible malicious attack that seeks to illegally access data, disrupt operations, or damage information. Cybersecurity professionals continually come up with ways to combat cyber threats against computer systems. There are many motives for cyber-attacks, but the main reason is money. An example would be a cyber attacker taking a system offline then demanding money to restore its functionality again.

The advancement of technology plays a large role in making these attackers smarter day by day. Cybercriminals take advantage of firms who pay less heed to cybersecurity, targeting almost everything from small blogs to online stores to gain access to sensitive information. Some types of major cyber security threats include:

Malware: Malicious software such as spyware, ransomware, viruses and worms. It is activated when someone clicks on a malicious link or attachment, which then leads to installing a dangerous software.

Emotet: As described by The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Emotet is “an advanced, modular banking Trojan that primarily functions as a downloader or dropper of other banking Trojans. Emotet continues to be the most costly and destructive malware.”

Denial of Service: This is a type of cyber-attack that floods a computer or network so it can’t respond to requests. Some cyber attackers use the time that a network is disabled to launch other attacks.

Cyber attackers can use an individual’s or a company’s sensitive data to steal information or to gain access to financial accounts or more damaging actions. These cyber security threats are important for cyber security professionals to be aware of to keep private data protected.
