Hot AI Cybersecurity Topics
- Botnets
Botnets are networks of computers controlled by cybercriminals. These botnets have been responsible for many attacks, including the infamous DDOS attack on Spamhaus in 2003. Botnets are often used to send spam, steal data, and even launch DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks.
2. Malware
Malware is malicious software designed to damage computer systems without the owner’s consent. Malware includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, crimeware, and rootkits. Malware authors use malware to perform illegal activities like stealing sensitive information, distributing spam emails, and committing fraud.
3. Ransomware
Ransomware is malicious software that blocks access to files until a ransom is paid. Ransomware encrypts files and then demands payment via Bitcoin or some other method before unlocking the files again.
4. Cryptojacking
Cryptocurrency mining is the act of using powerful graphics cards and CPUs to solve complex math problems in order to generate virtual currencies. In recent years, cryptojackers have begun targeting websites and services with ads to mine cryptocurrency in exchange for free content.
5. Zero-day exploits
Zero-day exploits are vulnerabilities that haven’t been patched yet. Hackers exploit zero-days to gain unauthorized entry into computer systems. A zero-day exploit could allow hackers to take control of a system remotely.
6. Darknet markets
Darknet markets are online marketplaces where people buy illicit goods and services. Most darknet markets operate anonymously and require users to pay with cryptocurrencies.
7. IoT hacks
IoT devices are connected objects that collect and share information about their environment. IoT devices include everything from refrigerators to cars to baby monitors. Unfortunately, these devices make it easier for hackers to break into our homes and steal personal information. Every device represents a potential vulnerability
