Top 5 cybercrime

#1 Phishing. “Tap on this link and win a million dollars right away!” Sounds too good to be true, right? …

#2 HACKING

Hacking is a systematic process used to identify vulnerabilities in a system and access nearly all the administrative controls in the system. This can lead to a hacker getting control of how the system functions, what information is encrypted, and even the outputs of specific processes.

#3 XXS:Cross Site Scripting

Such attacks try to use the URL of an existing and otherwise reliable website to perform a targeted attack. The attacker will try to insert JavaScript, HTML, or Flash-based code onto the third-party site. This is done to redirect the users to a separate page or take their information under false pretence. Such targets have a systemic and lasting effect on the business since it loses trust among its only consumers.
