Cyberattacks
There are two broad categorized types of cyberattacks - passive attacks and active attacks. These two broad categories of attacks are defined as follows:
Passive attack
A passive attack is a hacking attempt where data and hardware is monitored and tracked, but no alterations are made. Often, a program or human hacker gain access to a computer or network and monitor the activity of the user, tracking emails, internet usage, and even using the system's microphone or camera to spy on the user.
Active attack
An active attack is a hacking attempt where the attacker attempts to alter, add or control data or hardware. This is the type of attack most commonly associated with hacking and includes attack types like Denial of Service and Malware.
While these general types of cyberattacks remain largely the same, the specific types of cyberattacks are constantly changing with technology.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
