Background for this topic.
Cyberattack is an intentional attempt to compromise computer systems, networks, or digital devices by exploiting vulnerabilities or using malicious software. Common techniques include malware deployment, phishing to steal credentials, ransomware to encrypt data for extortion, and denial-of-service attacks that disrupt availability. These actions aim to gain unauthorized access, manipulate data, or cause operational disruption.
