Hello hello again everyone, receive a warm greeting, I hope you are well,
Today again I am going to talk about cybersecurity.
But today we are going to take three points of common threats in cybersecurity.
In the first we have:

  • cyberwar or also called computer warfare, or digital warfare.

    refers to the displacement of a conflict, which takes cyberspace and communication and information technologies as the field of operations.
    So we can say that cyberwar or cyber warfare refers to acts of war in and around virtual space with media that are associated with information technology.
    And you can also see what it is
    Espionage,
    Sabotage,
    Denial of service attack,
    Electric power network,
    Among others...

At another point we have what it is:

  • Cyberterrorism or also called electronic terrorism:

It is another form of common threat, but on this occasion, although it also tries to collect as much information as possible, the purpose is different, since the objective is to create an atmosphere of terror among citizens.
using information, communication, computer, electronic or similar technology means for the purpose of generating terror or generalized fear in a population, ruling class or government, thereby causing a violation of people's free will. The ends can be mainly economic, political or religious.

Now we bring the third point called:

  • Cybercrime

It is all that activity that transgresses, in which a computer (or network device) is attacked and / or used directly or indirectly.
Much of cyber misdeeds are committed by cybercriminals or hackers who make money from them. Cybercrime is carried out by individuals or organizations.

Some cybercriminals gather in organized groups, use advanced methods and have high technical qualifications, others are novice hackers.

Cybercriminals rarely hack into computers for reasons other than profit, for example political or personal.

Also, Achilles I am going to leave some types of cybercrimes:

Email and Internet fraud.
Personal data fraud (theft and misuse of personal information).
Theft of financial data or bank cards.
Theft and sale of corporate data.
Cyber ​​blackmail (demanding money to prevent cyber attacks).
Extortion program attacks (type of cyber blackmail).
Cryptology (extraction of cryptoliths using the resources of other people without the knowledge of their owners).
So you have to be very careful with these cybersecurity threats.
Well today again we learned a little more about cybersecurity and what it comprises ...

Well I hope you have a good time, successes ...

Sort:  

There is something that most people don't take into account and that is that to get on the radar of these pirates you just have to show off through the networks, it's something that ordinary people are not aware of
