Cyberattacks are becoming as common as chain snatching was once upon a time. So the real deal of the hour is, how to protect yourself from cyber-attacks. Check out this short byte to learn how.

What is a Cyberattack?
A cyberattack is any offensive manoeuvre that targets computer information systems, computer networks, infrastructures, or personal computer devices. An attacker is a person or process that attempts to access data, functions, or other restricted areas of the system without authorisation, potentially with malicious intent. Depending on the context, cyberattacks can be part of cyber warfare or cyberterrorism. A cyberattack can be employed by sovereign states, individuals, groups, societies, or organisations, and it may originate from an anonymous source. A product that facilitates a cyberattack is sometimes called a cyber weapon.

Why is Cybersecurity important?
In today’s connected world, everyone benefits from cyber defence programs. At an individual level, a cybersecurity attack can result in everything from identity theft, to extortion attempts, to the loss of important data like photos or documents. Cyber security is crucial because it involves everything that relates to protecting our data from cyber attackers.

What is Phishing?
Phishing attacks are the practice of sending fraudulent communications that appear to come from a reputable source. It is usually done through email. The goal is to steal sensitive data like credit card and login information or to install malware on the victim’s machine. Phishing is a common type of cyber attack that everyone should learn about in order to protect themselves.
