Cybersecurity Attacks and Defenses

Phishing attacks use deceptive emails or messages to trick users into revealing sensitive information or downloading malware.

A denial of service (DoS) attack overwhelms a system with traffic, making it unavailable to legitimate users, while a man in the middle (MITM) attack intercepts communication between two parties.

Malware includes viruses and Trojans that infiltrate systems to steal data or gain unauthorized access, and SQL injection exploits insecure input fields to compromise databases.
