Hacking:- New hacking method involves gaining access to one of the Company’s user credentials and their passwords, hence hackers can then act as the person in emailing others for financial information and private data.
Phishing scams:- Phishing attempt involves a simple email which is designed to look like it came from an authority within the company. The email might ask the person to download a document or click a link within the content. Once the desired action has been completed, the attacker is given control of the device and can then access device data and act as the user of the system.
BOTNETS:- A botnet attack begins with a single computer virus. The virus then spreads to connected computers on the network, and then sends a signal back to its command center, which is operated by the cyber-criminals.
Malicious JavaScript:- Criminals create sites that have a malicious JavaScript written into the programming to allow the instant download of a virus once the user opens the site. One click from a user within a company network can cause the download of a virus that shuts down the entire network.
