✅✅What is a cyberattack?#
👉An intentional attempt to gain access to, interfere with, or harm computer networks, devices or computer systems is known as a cyberattack. It entails unlawful acts carried out by malevolent people or organizations looking to take advantage of weaknesses for espionage, financial gain or disruption.
Cyberattacks involving cryptocurrency have increased over the past few years and have resulted in large financial losses. Although the expected amount of funds stolen in cyberattacks in 2023 was $1.7 billion, a 54.3% drop from 2022, the number of individual hacking events actually went up. This implies that although the total worth of stolen funds may have declined, the number and diversity of attacks are on the rise.
Attacks against decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, which were formerly the main targets, have decreased. In 2023, these platforms incurred $1.1 billion of the $3.1 billion in stolen funds that occurred in 2022. On the other hand, victims of various cybercrimes, like email phishing, have lost millions of dollars.
These statistics underscore the need for increased vigilance, knowledge of common cybersecurity threats and cyberattack prevention strategies. This knowledge empowers users to recognize and thwart cyber threats, safeguarding against common cyber risks such as phishing and social engineering attacks.
