Cyber-attacks you should prepare for

Advancements in technology such as automation and relying on the internet for every task comes with its downside. On the internet, the downside is cyber-attacks which you will encounter almost on a daily basis. Cyber attacks are any attacks carried out by cybercriminals who exploit a flaw or a vulnerability in a network or system. These attacks destroy, alter and even steal information from various systems and organizations. Sometimes they may hijack the whole system and demand ransom. To avoid this situation, you should always be prepared on how to deal with cyber attacks. Here are details of some common cyber-attacks;

網路釣魚攻擊

這些是最常見的網路攻擊,幾乎每個擁有電子郵件位址的人都經歷過。網路釣魚攻擊通常通過電子郵件進行,在大多數情況下,它們旨在竊取您的數據和資訊,有時它們更嚴重,可以竊取您的銀行帳戶詳細資訊。這些攻擊大多偽裝成合法的第三方,在請求資訊或更改您的帳戶的電子郵件中。這些電子郵件包含連結,如果您按兩下這些連結,將引導您進入一個看起來類似於受信任網站的欺騙性網站。然後,您將在不知情的情況下輸入您的個人詳細資訊和密碼。

過去,這些電子郵件只是直接進入垃圾郵件資料夾。因此,您不必打開它們。但從那以後,它們一直在發展,您可能會找到一個您的主收件匣資料夾。為避免這些攻擊,請不要打開您明確知道它們與您無關的電子郵件。例如,為什麼你要打開一封標題為「你贏了一百萬美元」的電子郵件,但你沒有參加任何比賽?

惡意軟體攻擊

Phishing and malware attacks always compete for the top position in any ranking for top cyber-attacks. Malware attacks are more dangerous, and they are the reason why you should always brace your system for any attacks. Malware is a general term for malicious software or code, and this includes viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, malvertising and potentially any software that is engineered to cause harm to a system. Malware usually destroys data, alters it and even hijacks a service for ransom.

惡意軟體通過電子郵件附件、更改的軟體下載、點對點共享平臺以及更多方式(基本上包括下載任何內容)通過互聯網傳播。為了防止惡意軟體攻擊,建議使用更新的防病毒軟體、更新的操作系統,並在已知漏洞時對其進行修補。還應避免未經驗證的下載和單擊惡意連結。

中間人 (MITM) 攻擊

顧名思義,這些是網路攻擊,其中網路犯罪分子在資訊到達最終目標之前攔截資訊。有時,網路犯罪分子可以偽裝成最終目標,從而獲取您發送或與另一方交換的所有資訊。MITM攻擊通常通過不安全的網路發生,例如不安全的免費WIFI熱點。如果攻擊者能夠讀取截獲的信息,它們可能是非常危險的攻擊。這是因為攻擊者將獲取您的密碼、使用者名以及您在網路上所做的一切。

To avoid these, always use and verify if the network you are connected to is secure. This can be a harder task, but it’s much simpler if you use a VPN. A VPN directs your traffic through an encrypted tunnel, and it also masks your IP address. Even if your traffic is intercepted, the attacker will not be able to decrypt the information, and hence it will be useless to him/her. Also, when using the internet, ensure you see HTTPS in the URL bar. HTTPS is more secure than HTTP as it uses security certificates and this ensures your connection to the server is secure.

密碼攻擊

這些是針對您的密碼的攻擊。它們是複雜的攻擊,因為犯罪分子採用各種策略來嘗試獲取或破解您的密碼。實際上,上述所有網路攻擊都可用於獲取密碼。大多數時候,攻擊者使用旨在破解密碼的軟體,即所謂的暴力攻擊。避免密碼攻擊的唯一方法是使用安全的網路連接、更強的密碼或兩者的組合。還建議為不同的帳戶使用不同的密碼。

還有許多其他網路攻擊我們沒有提到,但更重要的是你如何處理它們。最好的方法是建立預測攻擊、緩解攻擊甚至知道如何避免攻擊的機制。做好準備后,您遭受的傷害更少!
