Cyberattaque

A cyberattack is a malicious attempt to breach or disrupt computer systems, networks, or devices through unauthorized access or manipulation. It often involves the theft of data, disruption of services, or the compromise of security measures. Cyberattacks can take various forms, including but not limited to, malware infections, phishing schemes, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, ransomware deployment, and exploitation of vulnerabilities in software. The goal of a cyberattack may range from financial gain, data theft, espionage, to the disruption of critical infrastructure. Cyberattacks can target individuals, organizations, and even government entities, and they pose significant risks to cybersecurity and information integrity.
