Cybersecurity Jokes
Cybersecurity is one the most prominent fields nowadays. As you know that the world is turning into a global village. Now, we can anything, from anywhere in the world, with the help of internet. There arises the risk or protection of this internet otherwise it would leak our privacy, and there cybersecurity arrived. In this article, we are going to discuss about amusing cybersecurity jokes.
What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the process or practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital and cyber attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed and their major goal is at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users via ransomware; or interrupting normal business processes.
It is the process of protecting computers, servers, networks, mobile devices, electronic systems, and data from malicious attacks. It’s also known as information technology security, digital security, computer security or electronic security.
Cybersecurity Threads
Cybersecurity Threads involves the weakness, loopholes and in technical terms, we can call it as vulnerabilities in the system or computing network.
Types of Cybersecurity Threads
There are a number of cybersecurity threats, as nothing is completely uncompromised. Every Computer System, Network, or any device which has ICs inside it, is vulnerable and is not completely protected. Some Common Cybersecurity Threat is mentioned below;
Malware
Malware is a type of software designed to gain unauthorized access or to cause damage to a computer.
Phishing
Phishing is process or practice of stooling information with the help of emails, links and messages. In this method, the hacker or the attacker creates a phishing links via different tools and OS. This Phishing links are then converted into a good links email or link, and adjusted to work into open network. These links and emails are then shared to the victims via different platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Gmail etc. When the victims click on these emails and links, there information is transferred directly to the attacker.
Social Engineering
Social Engineering is a tactic in which the attacker can steal you information as well as he can also get access on your digital devices. It is similar to phishing and link sharing tactic. In this method, the attacker create a payload or a virus, which he injects on an application, file, image or video etc. When the user had download and install that application, then application connects with the attacker’s system at the backend. In this way, all control of your digital devices is transferred to the attacker or the hacker.
Man in the Middle Attack
Man in the Middle Attack is also known as eavesdropping attack. In this attack, An attacker, comes between the two way communication, between the user and router or the access point. In simple words, attacker hijacks the session between client and host. By doing this, hacker can steal you personal information and data.
Denial of Service Attack
A Denial-of-Service Attack is a significant threat to companies. Here, attackers target systems, servers, or networks and flood them with traffic to exhaust their resources and bandwidth.
When this happens, catering to the incoming requests becomes overwhelming for the servers, resulting in the website it hosts either shut down or slow down. This leaves the legitimate service requests unattended.
It is also known as a DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attack when attackers use multiple compromised systems to launch this attack.
Let’s now look at how to prevent a DDoS attack:
- Run a traffic analysis to identify malicious traffic.
- Understand the warning signs like network slowdown, intermittent website shutdowns, etc. At such times, the organization must take the necessary steps without delay.
- Formulate an incident response plan, have a checklist and make sure your team and data center can handle a DDoS attack.
- Outsource DDoS prevention to cloud-based service providers.
