Emerging cyber threats are like sneaky tricks that bad people use to cause problems on the internet. These tricks keep changing and getting smarter, so we need to be aware of them. Here are some simple ways to understand these emerging cyber threat techniques.
It's like when someone pretends to be a friend and asks for your personal information or money. They send fake emails or messages that look real, but they're not.
This is when hackers lock your computer and ask for money to unlock it. It's like a digital kidnapper holding your files hostage until you pay a ransom.
Malware is like a hidden virus on your computer. It can steal your data, damage your files, or make your computer do bad things without you knowing.
Imagine a lot of people trying to visit a website at the same time, making it slow or crash. That's what a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack does. It's like a digital traffic jam.
Many devices like smart TVs and thermostats are connected to the internet. Hackers can exploit these devices to gain access to your network or steal your data.
This is when cybercriminals trick people into revealing their passwords or sensitive information by pretending to be someone they trust.
Hackers discover secret weaknesses in software before the company can fix them. They can use these weaknesses to attack your computer or steal your information.
To protect yourself from these emerging cyber threats, you can use strong, unique passwords, keep your software updated, be cautious about clicking on suspicious links or opening unknown attachments, and use antivirus software. It’s like locking your doors and being careful with strangers online to stay safe in the digital world.
