Accidental Data Leak An accidental data leak is not an attack in the classic sense, but the consequences can look the same. Data becomes available to the wrong people through human error, bad configuration, wrong sharing, a public repository, open cloud storage, or mail sent to the wrong address.

Account Takeover Account takeover is the moment the attacker gains full control of an account — not only access, but the ability to change the password, the recovery mail address, the phone number and the second factor, while the real owner is shut out with no technical way back in on their own. Takeover is rarely the first stage of an attack. It is usually the destination of what came before: phishing, credential stuffing, token theft.

Backdoor A backdoor is a hidden way in. Once placed or opened, it lets the attacker return to the machine — with no password, no authorization and no entry in the ordinary records. A backdoor can be opened by malware while it runs, but it can equally be a user account nobody watches, or web shell access left on a server.

Business Email Compromise Business email compromise is not an ordinary fake email. The attacker breaks into business correspondence, or imitates it well enough that somebody in the company believes the request comes from the director, from finance, from a supplier, a lawyer or a partner. The aim is usually money, but it can also be a confidential document, a change of payment details, or an opening for the next phase of the attack.

Cryptominer A cryptominer steals what we rarely think of as a target: our computing power and our electricity. In the background it uses our processors and graphics cards to mine cryptocurrency for the attacker while we pay the bill. It has no interest in our data, only in our resources and how much of them there is.

Fileless malware Fileless malware never writes itself to disk during the attack, so antivirus software has a harder time finding it. While it operates it lives in memory and works with tools the system already has — PowerShell, scripts, built-in commands. Because it delivers its payload through legitimate tools, its activity is not easy to tell apart from normal work.

Infostealer An infostealer has one basic role: to collect your credentials. Saved browser passwords, cookies and session tokens, autofill data, crypto wallet keys — all of it is of interest. It stays in contact with the attacker and sends on what it gathers. When the job is done it can delete itself and disappear.

Insider Threat An insider threat comes from a person who has, or once had, legitimate access to an organization's systems, data or premises. That can be an employee, a former employee, an administrator, an associate, a supplier or a partner. The trouble is that the access was not necessarily unauthorized to begin with.

Loader / Dropper Loaders and droppers are couriers. Their only job is to deliver the infection to the machine. A dropper carries the payload with it and writes it to the system; a loader is usually smaller and pulls the payload from the internet only once it has landed. Neither does anything more than that — and that is their advantage.

Phishing Phishing is the most widespread form of social-engineering attack and, in a great many cases, the first link in any serious break-in. The attacker sends a message that appears to come from a known organization — a bank, a courier, a government service, a colleague — and leads the victim into doing one of three things: clicking a link, opening an attachment, or entering their credentials somewhere.

Remote access trojan - RAT A RAT gives the attacker remote control of your machine. Once inside they can browse files, switch on the camera and microphone, record what you type and run commands — all of it live, as if sitting in front of your screen. It resembles remote support tools, only on the wrong side of the law.

Rootkit A rootkit is hard to see, and that is its most important property. It can settle beneath the operating system and beneath the layer where antivirus software can look: sometimes in drivers or in the kernel, out of reach of protective mechanisms, sometimes in the boot phase, even in the motherboard firmware. From there it hides itself and everything else the attacker does, so an infected system looks perfectly clean.

SPF/DKIM/DMARC By default, anyone can put your domain in the sender field — that's how spoofed mail 'from the director' works. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are three records you publish for your domain that let a recipient check whether mail claiming to be from you actually came from your systems. SPF says which servers may send for you, DKIM signs the message, and DMARC tells the recipient what to do with mail that fails the check and sends you reports.

Supply Chain Attack A supply chain attack does not always aim at the final victim directly. The attacker compromises software, hardware, a supplier, a build process or an update mechanism before the product or service reaches the user. The victim then carries the problem into their own environment, because it comes from a source they trust.

Trojan A Trojan does not break in; the victim opens the door. It usually presents itself as something useful — a program or a document, a fake installer, a cracked application, or a harmless-looking tool for speeding up the computer. The user runs what they meant to run, and the attacker gets what they were after.

Typosquatting Typosquatting exploits small mistakes in typing, reading or recognizing a name. The attacker registers a domain, an account or a software package that resembles a legitimate name, counting on a user, a developer or a system to miss one letter, swap a character or overlook the difference.

USB Drop Attack A USB drop attack uses human curiosity and the habit of plugging an unknown device into a computer to see what is on it. The attacker leaves a USB stick or device where an employee will notice it: a car park, a corridor, a reception desk, a meeting room, a bag of promotional material.

Virus A virus embeds itself in other executable files and runs together with them. It starts when the user launches the application or opens the infected file, and often attaches itself to other running processes and applications. That is what separates it from a worm: a virus needs a host and a user, while a worm spreads on its own.

Wiper A wiper does not exist to steal or to extort — a wiper destroys data. It erases and overwrites, breaks file systems, and combined with worms and zero-day vulnerabilities it can bring down hundreds or thousands of networks within hours. Unlike ransomware it offers no ransom; recovery was never part of the plan, because the aim is damage, not money.

Worm A worm spreads on its own. Unlike a virus it needs no host file and no click from the user — once it is on one machine it immediately looks for the next, and the next, and thousands of devices can be infected within minutes. Replication is its purpose, speed is its weapon, and whatever it carries is the real threat.

Zero-Day Exploitation Zero-day exploitation uses a vulnerability for which the vendor has no patch yet, or does not know exists. The name says how much time the defense had to prepare: zero days. In practice a victim can be doing everything right, keeping systems and applications up to date, and still be exposed.
