data from a computer system. Cybercriminals use many different types of

malware or malicious software to carry out their activities.

2023-2024

Cybersecurity threats are malicious activities by an

individual or organisation to steal or damage the
CCDI – Term 1

data, gain access to a network system, and disrupt

digital life. The following are the threats available
today:

• Malware

• Social engineering
• Denial-of-service DoS
• Wi-Fi password cracking
 Types of cybersecurity threats
Social engineering
2023-2024

For example, an attacker will call an authorized employee with an urgent problem
that requires immediate network access. The attacker will try using techniques to
CCDI – Term 1

gain the employee's trust and tries to access confidential data.

Phishing is a common social engineering attack. The

attackers contact a target through email, phone, or text
message to click a link. This link will redirect the targets
to fraudulent websites to provide confidential data like
personal information, banking and credit card
information, usernames, and passwords.
 Types of cybersecurity threats
Denial-of-Service DOS
2023-2024

Are a type of network attack that results in some sort of

interruption of network service to users, devices, or
CCDI – Term 1

applications.
An overwhelming quantity of traffic is a type of DoS attack in a network where
an enormous amount of data is sent to the host at a rate it cannot handle. This
kind of attack causes a slowdown in transmission or response or cause a device
or service to crash.
 Types of cybersecurity threats
Denial-of-Service DOS
2023-2024
CCDI – Term 1

A Distributed DoS (DDoS) attack is similar to a DoS attack but

originates from multiple, coordinated sources.
For example, an attacker builds a network (botnet) of infected
hosts called zombies controlled by handler systems. The zombie
computers will constantly scan and infect more hosts, creating
more and more zombies. When needed, the hacker will instruct
the handler systems to make the botnet of zombies carry out a
DDoS attack.

A bot computer is typically infected by visiting an unsafe website or opening an

infected email attachment or media file. A botnet is a group of bots in hundreds of
thousands of bots connected through the internet. Cyber attackers control a
botnet through system commands.
 Types of cybersecurity threats
Denial-of-Service DOS
2023-2024
CCDI – Term 1

Also referred to as a man-in-the-middle (mitm) or man-in-the-mobile (mitmo) attack. This attack

intercepts or modifies communications between two devices, such as a web browser and a web
server, to collect information from the devices
A mitm attack happens when a cybercriminal takes
control of a device and captures users’ information
without the user’s knowledge.

A mitmo is a type of attack used to take control over a

user’s mobile device.

Attackers use popular search terms and use SEO to push malicious sites to higher up the ranks of
search results. This technique is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) poisoning

Wi-Fi password cracking
2023-2024

One of the most common methods of authenticating to a website is by entering

a username and password. As a result, revealing your password is a simple
CCDI – Term 1

way for cybercriminals to gain access to your most sensitive information.

There are different kinds of password attacks, as follows:

• Password spraying
• Dictionary attacks
• Brute-force attacks
• Rainbow attacks
• Traffic interception
