Threats posed to networks

Threats posed to networks

1. Malware

   • Malicious software.
     • It attacks your computer, deleting files and endangering your personal details

2. Phishing

   • Someone using an email that looks trusted to get you to click a link that steals your data / reveal your personal details

3. People as the "weak points" of a system

   • People are foolish, and will fall for anything these days. They will quite easily think something is a trusted site, pretending to be a bank or something, but really they are falling right into the scammer's trap

4. Brute force

   • People forcing their way in by trying every password combination that is related to the person who's account they are attempting to access

5. SQL injection.

   • Putting in SQL code where it shouldn't be, allows a person to edit a website, and it could potentially bring down a large business
