A DDoS attack using a third-party service.

Groups of individuals who use hacking techniques to promote political or social causes.

A type of cyberattack that overwhelms a target server with traffic from multiple sources, making it unavailable to legitimate users.

A DDoS attack that exploits the Domain Name System (DNS) to amplify the attack traffic, making the attack more powerful.

A DDoS attack that leverages vulnerabilities in Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers to reflect amplified attack traffic back to the target.

A technique used in DDoS attacks where the attacker disguises the source of the attack traffic, making it difficult to track.

A technique used by Tor where data is encrypted and routed through a network of relays, making it difficult to trace the origin of the traffic.

A privacy-focused network that uses onion routing to protect user privacy and anonymity.

Nodes in the Tor network that route traffic between users and destinations, making it difficult to trace the path.

Techniques used to spread harmful software to mobile devices, including app repackaging, browser attacks, visiting third-party app stores, malicious advertising, and clicking on shortened URLs.

Groups of malicious software specifically designed to target Android devices, often stealing data, spying on users, or taking control of devices.

Malware specifically aimed at stealing banking credentials and financial information from mobile users.

The goals of mobile malware often include stealing sensitive information (like location, unique device IDs), manipulating data, and turning devices into part of a larger botnet.

Vulnerabilities in the Android operating system, allowing attackers to gain complete control of devices.

Weaknesses in the design and security of mobile operating systems, applications, and communication networks, making them susceptible to attacks.

The increasing use of mobile devices for both personal and business purposes necessitates strong security measures to protect sensitive data and prevent cyberattacks.

Cybercriminals constantly adapt their methods to target mobile devices using new vulnerabilities and techniques to bypass security measures.

A toolkit that automates the process of exploiting vulnerabilities in software, often targeting browsers and programs used by websites. It allows attackers to easily launch attacks against common vulnerabilities in applications like Adobe Reader, Java, Flash Player, and web browsers.

A type of malware that restricts access to a computer or its files, demanding a payment (ransom) in exchange for decryption or access restoration. It typically encrypts files, making them inaccessible until the ransom is paid.

A well-known ransomware variant that encrypts files and demands payment for decryption. It's known for its widespread infections.

A type of ransomware that locks the computer screen, preventing access. It displays a full-screen image that blocks other windows, demanding payment to unlock the screen.

A sophisticated malware designed to target industrial control systems, such as those used in manufacturing and power plants. It can reprogram the control systems to malfunction, potentially causing damage or disruption.

A technique where attackers compromise a website frequented by their targets. They then insert malicious code into the website, infecting visitors when they access it.

A security flaw in software that is unknown to developers and has no available patch. Attackers can exploit this flaw before the vulnerability is fixed, potentially causing significant damage.

The harmful code or data delivered to a target system during a cyberattack, causing damage or stealing information. This code could be ransomware, a backdoor, or other malicious software.

A technique where an attacker disguises their IP address as a trusted source to gain unauthorized access or deceive network devices.

Security risks related to smartphones and tablets, including data breaches, malware infections, privacy violations, and unauthorized access.

Security challenges arising from interconnected devices in the Internet of Things, such as vulnerabilities in connected devices, data privacy concerns, and potential for large-scale attacks.

A network security system that acts as a barrier between a trusted network and an untrusted network, controlling incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined rules.

A security system that monitors network traffic for suspicious activities and can block or alert about potential threats.

A decoy system designed to attract and trap attackers, allowing security teams to analyze their tactics and gather intelligence.
