Cybercriminals are constantly developing new techniques and tactics to attack businesses and ordinary internet users. Some of the newest types of cyber attacks include:
- Trust-basedattacks (Trust-based Attacks): these attacks involve compromising trusted accounts, such as those on social networks or email platforms, through which attackers pose as legitimate users and gain access to their information and data.
- Deepfake attacks: this type of attack involves using artificial intelligence to create fake audio or video recordings of individuals or organizations and then distributing them for misinformation purposes.
- Attacks on IoT devices: due to the large number of internet-connected devices (IoT) in use today, they have become a popular target for cyber attacks. Attackers can use compromised IoT devices to launch botnet attacks or access other devices connected to the same network.
- Supply chain attacks: these attacks involve compromising suppliers or company partners to gain access to their information and data, or to launch attacks against the companies they work with.
- Triple Extortion Ransomware Attacks: these types of attacks involve using a combination of ransomware, data exfiltration, and the threat of data publication to force a ransom payment.
These are just some of the newest types of cyber attacks, but it’s important to keep in mind that cybercriminals continue to develop new methods and techniques to achieve their goals. It is crucial to keep security systems up to date and take appropriate measures to prevent such attacks.
