How Attacks Happen

How often are cyber attacks happening...?

Cyber attacks impact businesses every single day. It's estimated that over 4,000 attacks take place every single day and approximately every 14 seconds, a company falls victim to a ransomware attack.

Why are all these attacks taking place...?

Cybercrime has increased every year as people try to benefit from vulnerable business systems. Often, attackers are looking for ransom: 53 percent of cyber attacks resulted in damages running into the hundreds of thousands of pounds. 

Cyberthreats can also be launched with ulterior motives. Some attackers look to obliterate systems and data as a form of “hacktivism.”

Attack types are varied

The manner and complexity in which bad actors target businesses is increasing day by day...

Malware is a term used to describe malicious software, including spyware, ransomware, viruses, and worms. Malware breaches a network through a vulnerability, typically when a user clicks a dangerous link or email attachment that then installs risky software.

Cyber phishing attacks are deceptive tactics used by cybercriminals to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials, financial data, or personal details.

Email Phishing Attackers send fraudulent emails pretending to be from legitimate sources (e.g., banks, social media, or employers). The email often contains a sense of urgency, asking the recipient to click on a malicious link or open an infected attachment. Links may lead to fake websites designed to steal credentials.

Spear Phishing - A more targeted form of phishing aimed at specific individuals or organisations. Attackers gather information about the target to craft highly personalised messages that appear legitimate. Often used in business email compromise (BEC) scams.

Clone Phishing Attackers duplicate a legitimate email but modify links or attachments with malicious content. The fake email appears as a follow-up to a previously sent email, making it seem credible.

Pharming - Instead of tricking users into clicking a fake link, attackers manipulate the Domain Name System (DNS) to redirect users to malicious websites.
