A cyberattack is an intentional and unauthorized attempt by individuals or groups to access, disrupt, steal, or damage computer systems, networks, or data. These attacks can take various forms, such as hacking, phishing, malware, ransomware, or denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Cyberattacks are often motivated by financial gain, espionage, political objectives, or sabotage. They can target individuals, businesses, or government organizations, potentially leading to data breaches, financial losses, or operational disruptions. As digital technology becomes increasingly central to daily life, understanding and defending against cyberattacks is crucial for protecting sensitive information and maintaining the security of digital infrastructure.
