Virus

Phishing
Phishing is the attempt of criminals to pose as legitimate companies in order to gain access to an online account holder’s financial information. They lure users in by tricking them into clicking a malicious link which appears as a legitimate email, rather than trying to break through a computer’s defenses.
Security Access Control
When security access control is not implemented, users are able to access files they have no business being in. Organizations need security access control in order to ensure an authenticated user is the only one authorized to consume, enter, or use data.
Man-in-the-Middle
This attack is where criminals secretly lay dormant until you try to communicate with another party. It is a form of eavesdropping where communication between two users is monitored and recorded by an unauthorized party. This cyber attack gives the unauthorized user access to private information.
