Security Threats: Detection and Prevention

1. Brute force attack

   • Locking accounts after a number of attempts to login.
   • Stronger Passwords
     • The stronger your password is, the harder it is for hackers to enter your accounts.
   • 2 step verification
     • 2 step verification basically makes your accounts harder to login to by asking for a second way to prove you are the person of the account you're trying to login to. For example, it may send a code to the phone number attached to the account.

2. Trojan Horse

3. DDoS

4. Phishing

5. Computer Virus
