This illegal act is typically intended for financial gain. Most businesses are dependent on electronic data and utilize network mediums for transmitting information. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The <strong>online medium has become a repository of all personal, business, and financial information<\/strong>. Cybercriminals employ different methods to exploit these repositories to conduct security breaches.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">In very simple terms, <strong>cybercrime is a crime that is carried out using computers and online networks<\/strong>. The damage incurred by cybercrime is mainly on the finance and data of the target organization. The activities that can be considered <strong>cybercrime are gaining unauthorized access to confidential information, private data, business databases, financial details, and devices<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The <strong>development of IT infrastructure and ongoing digitization have raised concerns of their very own<\/strong>. The number of devices on the network is increasing every day and with that people\u2019s dependency on them is increasing too. This has created an opportunistic scenario for cybercriminals. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Also, in the last two years, due to the pandemic, many organizations transformed into remote work cultures, which increased the number of users online.

Examples of these attacks are &#8211; Malware, SQL Injection, Cross-site Scripting, DoS (Denial of Service) attack, etc. In these attacks, the malicious actors need to have knowledge and skills related to the network layer or internal architecture of the IT infrastructure. Along with that, they must have knowledge of programming languages and shell scripting.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_Engineering_Attacks\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social Engineering Attacks<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this kind of attack, the primary target of the threat actors is human beings, who are considered the weakest link in an organization\u2019s security chain.
