00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,090
Before getting started with cyber attacks, firstly, we need to understand the term cyber attacks and

2
00:00:06,090 --> 00:00:07,890
the purpose of cyber attacks.

3
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:15,510
A cyber attack is any type of offensive action that target computer system, infrastructure, computer

4
00:00:15,510 --> 00:00:22,830
networks or professional computer devices by using various methods to steal or destroy data or information

5
00:00:22,830 --> 00:00:23,310
systems.

6
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:27,250
I know it is quite difficult to understand in the first attempt.

7
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:29,280
Let me explain in simple words.

8
00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:36,270
A cyber attack is a malicious and deliberate attempt by an individual or organization to breach the

9
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:39,620
information system of another individual or organization.

10
00:00:39,930 --> 00:00:45,300
Usually the attacker seek some type of benefits from distributing the victims network.

11
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:53,100
A cyberattack is also known as a computer network attack C and A, if you have ever studied it much

12
00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:55,930
metal in history, you will know that No.

13
00:00:55,930 --> 00:00:57,370
Two are exactly alike.

14
00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:03,940
Still, there are similar strategies and tactics often used in battle because they are proven to be

15
00:01:03,940 --> 00:01:04,590
effective.

16
00:01:05,610 --> 00:01:12,330
Similarly, when a criminal is trying to hack an organization, they want to reinvent the wheel unless

17
00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:13,570
they absolutely have to.

18
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:19,830
They will draw upon common types of hacking techniques that are known to be highly effective, such

19
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:23,240
as malware, phishing or crosseyed scripting, etc..

20
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:29,520
Upcoming videos are the overview of some of the most common types of cyberattacks into today.
