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.

AiTM AiTM sits between the user and the real service. Classic phishing steals a password; AiTM steals the live session. The victim gets a link, lands on a proxy that looks exactly like the real login (because it forwards everything to the real site), enters credentials and even the MFA code — the proxy passes them through, the real service issues a session token, and the attacker captures that token.

Authentication Bypass An authentication bypass means the attacker reaches a protected part of the system without logging in the ordinary way. They need not know a password. Sometimes a flaw in the logic is enough, or an unprotected endpoint, a predictable token, a misconfigured proxy, or a gap between two steps of the login.

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.

Credential Abuse Credential abuse involves using stolen, leaked, or otherwise obtained login data to gain unauthorized access to systems and services. The attacker impersonates a legitimate user.

Credential stuffing Credential stuffing does not go after unknown passwords; it tries known ones. With username and password pairs from databases leaked across the internet, the attacker tries the most-used services such as Facebook and Instagram, counting on people reusing the same credentials on several services — which in most cases holds.

Crypto-wallet drainer A crypto wallet works by signing transactions that move crypto assets. Draining a wallet is the process in which the user, believing they are doing something legitimate, signs a transaction or an approval that hands the attacker control of those assets.

Deepfake Attack A deepfake attack uses an artificially generated voice, image or video so that somebody can pose as a real person. In cyber attacks this usually means the director's voice on a call, a colleague's face in a video meeting, or a recording that feels real enough for the victim to accept the request.

Evil Twin A fake Wi-Fi network, known as an evil twin, imitates a legitimate wireless network so that users connect to an access point the attacker controls. The network name looks familiar, the signal can be stronger, and the device often suggests or restores the connection by itself.

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.

Keylogger A keylogger is a program or hardware device that records every keystroke. Software keyloggers run covertly in the background, while hardware variants can be physically attached between the keyboard and the computer.

Lateral Movement Lateral movement involves an attacker moving from one compromised system to another within the same network. The goal is to expand access to systems containing more valuable data or enabling further escalation.

MFA Fatigue MFA fatigue is social-engineering pressure applied to two-factor authentication. The attacker has the password, leaked or phished, but is stopped at the second factor — a confirmation the user has to approve on their phone. So the attacker starts the login over and over, burying the phone in approval requests. The arithmetic is simple: out of irritation, confusion, or the thought that it must be some glitch, the user approves one at some point — and the attacker is through the whole authentication.

Password spraying Password spraying is brute force turned around. Instead of trying many passwords on one account, the attacker tries common passwords across many accounts. That avoids lockout, because each individual account sees only an attempt or two.

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.

Physical Access Attack Physical access is the oldest form of compromise: the attacker reaches the device, the room, a port, a cable or a piece of paper. Once somebody can sit down at a computer, walk up to a server, put a device into a port or carry a laptop away, digital protection no longer helps.

Pretexting Pretexting is social engineering with a prepared story. The attacker does not simply send a link and wait for a click; they build a scenario in which what they are doing looks normal. They present themselves as a colleague, technical support, an auditor, a bank, a supplier, a courier or an official.

Privilege Escalation Privilege escalation is a technique by which an attacker with limited access gains a higher level of authorization. Vertical escalation means reaching administrator or root level, while horizontal escalation means accessing another user's resources at the same privilege level.

QR phishing - Quishing Quishing is phishing through a QR code. Instead of a visible link, the user is given an image to scan with their phone. The QR code then takes them to a fake page for a login, a payment, a document download or an account confirmation.

Reconnaissance Reconnaissance involves the systematic gathering of information about the target environment, both externally before the attack and internally after compromise. The goal is to understand the topology, identify targets, and plan the next stages.

Remote Code Execution Remote code execution is one of the most dangerous classes of vulnerability, because it lets an attacker run their own code on a vulnerable system from somewhere else entirely. If the application runs on a server, the attacker is no longer merely a user on the outside; they gain a way to influence what the server executes.

SIM Swapping SIM swapping does not attack the phone but the phone number. The attacker persuades, or bribes, a mobile operator to move the number to a new SIM card, citing a lost phone or a damaged card. They usually come armed with personal details from leaked databases and phishing. The moment the number moves to their card, the real phone loses signal and every call and message goes to the attacker.

SMS phishing - Smishing Smishing is phishing over SMS or messaging apps. The attacker sends a short message with a link, a request to confirm something, or an instruction for an urgent action, counting on messages being read quickly on a phone and without much checking.

SQL Injection SQL injection usually arises when a web application passes user input blindly to the database on the web server. Instead of ordinary text, the attacker can put part of an SQL command into a login, search or filter field. If the application does not stop it, the database can execute something the designer never had in mind, and certainly never intended.

Spear Phishing Spear phishing is phishing cut to fit one person or a small group of users. Instead of sending the same message to thousands of addresses, the attacker first gathers information about the victim — where they work, who they work with, what they are working on right now, how the company addresses its clients — and then writes a message that reads as if it came from that world.

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.

Whaling Whaling is targeted phishing aimed at senior management, owners, directors and people who can approve large decisions. The target is not chosen by chance. The attacker knows who they are after and why that person is worth more than an ordinary account.

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.

voice phishing - Vishing Vishing is phishing over the telephone. Instead of an email and a link, the attacker uses a voice, a phone number and the pressure of the moment. They present themselves as a bank, technical support, a courier, the police, the tax office, or somebody from the company, while trying to extract details or lead the victim into doing something they otherwise would not.
