"We must forget everything we've done and what we thought we knew until now and approach security very differently.

It's the number of people utilizing software to attack companies and infrastructures."

Given Enough Time and Resources A Hacker will Always Get in Until Now!!! 

1. Malware Attacks: Malware (malicious software) is a broad category encompassing various harmful programs designed to infiltrate and damage systems.
2. Ransomware: Encrypts a victim's data and demands a ransom payment for the decryption key.
3. Trojans: Malicious code disguised as legitimate software that tricks users into installing it, often creating a backdoor for hackers.
4. Spyware/Keyloggers: Software that secretly monitors user activity, collects sensitive information (passwords, banking details, keystrokes), and transmits it to the attacker.
5. Worms: Self-replicating programs that spread across networks without human interaction, exploiting software vulnerabilities.
6. Phishing and Social Engineering: These attacks exploit human psychology to manipulate people into revealing sensitive information or performing actions that compromise security.
7. Phishing: General attempts using deceptive emails or messages that appear to be from a trustworthy source to trick victims into clicking malicious links or providing data.
8. Spear Phishing: Highly targeted phishing attacks aimed at specific individuals or organizations, often using personalized information to seem more credible.
9. Whaling: A type of spear phishing that specifically targets high-profile executives (CEOs, CFOs) within an organization.
10. Pretexting: Creating a fabricated scenario or "pretext" to gain a victim's trust and extract information.
11. Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks: These attacks aim to make a network, website, or service unavailable to legitimate users by overwhelming it with excessive traffic or requests. DDoS attacks are launched from multiple compromised devices (botnets), making them harder to stop than a single-source DoS attack.
12. Code Injection Attacks: Attackers inject malicious code into a vulnerable application to change its course of action or extract data.
13. SQL Injection: Inserts malicious SQL statements into a data-driven application to view, alter, or erase database data.
14. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Injects malicious scripts into legitimate websites which are then executed in the victim's web browser, allowing the attacker to steal information or impersonate the user.
15. Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: The attacker intercepts communication between two parties, secretly eavesdropping on, or altering, the messages exchanged. This is common on unsecured Wi-Fi networks and can involve session hijacking or DNS spoofing.
16. Password Attacks: Various methods to obtain user credentials to gain unauthorized access to accounts.
17. Brute Force: Uses a trial-and-error approach to systematically guess login information.
18. Credential Stuffing: Uses stolen credentials from a previous data breach to try accessing other accounts, relying on password reuse.
19. Supply Chain Attacks: Targeting less-secure elements in an organization's supply chain (e.g., a third-party vendor or software component) to gain access to the main target.
20. Zero-Day Exploits: Attacks that leverage a previously unknown or unpatched software vulnerability, giving the vendor "zero days" to fix it before the attack occurs.
