DISTRIBUTED Denial-of-service (DDoS)
A Distributed Denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal functioning of a server, network, website, or computer by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. Typically, such an attack involves a host system that infects other computers or servers connected to the network in order to amplify the attack.
Constant flooding of connection requests, notifications, and traffic from DDoS attacks can overload a system and deny service requests by legitimate users.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks do not directly benefit the attacker by stealing any information; rather, their aim is to compromise the targeted systems and disrupt their normal functioning. However, such attacks can be highly detrimental to businesses as they can bring operations to a standstill, resulting in substantial financial losses, often running into hundreds of thousands of dollars due to lost revenue, productivity and damage to reputation.
DRIVE-BY ATTACK
Drive-by attacks are cyber attacks that use various online resources to compromise a user’s system. The malicious code can be inserted into internet ads, HTTP, or PHP codes on websites or applications. Unlike other forms of cyber attacks, users don’t have to do anything to trigger the malicious software or virus.
It is estimated that 92% of malware is delivered through email.
