The term "cyberattack" encompasses various malicious activities aimed at compromising the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of information systems. It includes methods such as phishing, where attackers trick individuals into revealing personal information; DDoS attacks, which overwhelm systems with traffic; and malware, designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to systems. Cyberattacks can target individuals, organizations, or governments and can result in significant financial loss, reputation damage, and breaches of sensitive information, emphasizing the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to defend against such threats.
