DDoS attacks (short for distributed denial of service) aim to over­whelm a server with traffic in order to take down a web­site or a service. When speaking of a DDoS attack, the attack is coming from multiple sources at the same time, whereas a regular DoS (denial of service) attack has a single source.

[b]Phishing[/b]

Phishing is a way to trick people into down­loading virus-infected files or revealing sensitive data, such as pass­words or financial information. A phishing scam tries to disguise itself by making it look like the victim is approached by a legitimate and trust­worthy person or company. A cyber threat such as phishing is also known as social engineering.

[b]Data breaches[/b]

Data breaches happen when cyber criminals break into a database full of sensitive information. The criminals can then use the stolen information for account take­over and identity theft.
