What is a cyber attack?

Cyber attacks are malicious attempts to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or network with the intent to cause damage or steal data. They can be launched by individuals, criminal syndicates, or even government-sponsored groups. The main objectives of these attacks are financial gain, disruption, revenge, or cyberwarfare. Cyber attacks often involve malware, phishing, ransomware, or exploiting software vulnerabilities. Preventing such attacks involves implementing security measures, monitoring suspicious activity, and educating users about potential threats.
