BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Malware Attacks
- Example :Imagine you download a free game from an unknown website. Once installed, your computer starts acting weird, slows down, or displays unwanted ads. This could be malware.
2. Phishing Attacks
- Example : You get an email that looks like it's from your bank, asking you to click a link and enter your password. But the email is fake, and the hacker steals your password.
3. Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks
- Example: Think of a prank where thousands of people call your school's office at the same time, preventing others from reaching the school. A DDoS attack floods a website with traffic to make it crash.
4. Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks
- Example: Imagine two friends passing notes in class, but someone intercepts the note, reads it, and changes the message before passing it on. In the digital world, hackers do this with internet connections.
5. SQL Injection Attacks
- Example: You enter 1=1 in the search bar of a website, and it shows you private data of other users because the website didn’t protect its database properly.
6. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- Example: If a hacker adds a fake script to a school’s website comment box, and when you visit the page, your computer gets infected with malware.
7. Password Attacks
- Example: A hacker tries every possible combination (like guessing your birthday or name) until they crack your email password.
8. Insider Threats
- Example: If a school employee who knows the Wi-Fi password shares it with outsiders to let them misuse the school’s network.
9. Zero-Day Exploits
- Example: If a hacker finds a bug in a popular messaging app before the company fixes it and uses it to access your private chats.
10. Social Engineering Attacks.
- Example: Someone calls pretending to be your teacher and asks for your email password, saying they need it to reset the school portal. You give it, but it was a trick.
11. Ransomware Attacks
- Example: Imagine all your photos and files are locked, and a hacker says, “Pay me $100 to unlock them.” That’s ransomware.
12. Supply Chain Attacks
- Example: A hacker hacks into a book supplier’s system and changes the delivery address of school books to their own address.
13. Cryptojacking
- Example: Your computer gets very slow because someone secretly installed software on it to mine cryptocurrency without your knowledge.
14. IoT-Based Attacks
- Example: A hacker takes control of a smart home camera or smart light bulb and uses it to spy on you or others.
15. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
- Example: A group of hackers slowly and secretly breaks into a school’s database over months to steal student data and use it for illegal activities.
