Cyber-Attacks Identification and Measures for Prevention

A survey paper on the cyber crime which effected so many digital systems as we are very much depending upon internet for so many things in our daily life. It describes about the various cyber attacks around the world.In the early days of personal computing, malware threats like the infamous Brain virus, was distributed using floppy disk and were easily localized and handled. But after long time because of the Internet the cybercrime was massively distributed. From there we have seen methods of attacking increased drastically which became more prevalent. One of the most difficult things to counter about all of these cyber threats is that they are now truly personal. The one such example is ransomeware which will attack the victim " s system and demand him to pay money called ransome. Unless until he pay " s the attacker will not resume the system from his control. Recently we had heard that so many banking systems were hacked due to this cyber threat ransome, In this paper I am giving some of the examples of different kinds of cyber attacks.

Data protection and cybersecurity are becoming challenge for scientists in today's computer engineering age. Cybersecurity is the information and information technology safety operation, such as the network, computers, database, data center and application. Both government and private companies are seeking to protect our information and data from cyber threats or hackers. In this internet age cyberattacks have become very popular. Every year, cybercrimes are rising and the damage rate is also rising. The most important thing in this digital world is to provide protection against cyberattacks. Nonetheless, maintaining cybersecurity is an incredibly complicated job, as domain information about the attacks and the ability to identify the potential for threats is needed. Cyber security's principal problem is the changing complexity of the bouts. This article addresses the importance of cybersecurity together with different threats present in the advanced age. The research and their statistics made for cyberattacks indicate the severity of the bouts. Different information security intimidations are posed associated with the machine learning based algorithms which must be enabled to the detection of cyber-based attacks. It addresses the require for cybersecurity architecture of the fifth cohort.

Over the years, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has changed our lives, which in the past was impossible, and more so it has become an integral part of one's existence. More than half the world's population is digitally linked, and the direction it is moving is going to grow more. In India, for example, a transition of ICT implementation in virtually all fields. Nevertheless, ICT not only offers benefits, but it also has pitfalls in the context of cybercrime, at the same time. Cybercrime is emerging globally as a big threat in cyberspace at present. It affects all actors including government departments, industry groups, NGOs, and even a person. ICT and other emerging tools are now a valuable resource for reacting to threats, participating in patrolling hotspots, investigating hate incidents, tracking the success of staff, and several other tasks. Technologies such as CCTV, data mining systems, heat sensors, biometric identification, GPS tracking systems, the internet and communication systems are used to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute crime in the police forces and security sector. The text concluded that many approaches for the identification and avoidance of these cybercrime attacks among us could be implemented satisfactorily because of the usage of ICT-based resources such as social media platforms, social networking sites, electronic transactions, computer collaborations, etc.

Over the years, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has changed our lives, which in the past was impossible, and more so it has become an integral part of one's existence. More than half the world’s population is digitally linked, and the direction it is moving is going to grow more. In India, for example, a transition of ICT implementation in virtually all fields. Nevertheless, ICT not only offers benefits, but it also has pitfalls in the context of cybercrime, at the same time. Cybercrime is emerging globally as a big threat in cyberspace at present.

Background: The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly affected the operations of higher education institutions. Due to the limited use of video conferencing and cloud computing in these facilities, distance learning became the only option available to them. Objective: The study focused on identifying the most common types of attacks that can affect e-learning assets. Results: There was a lack of clear cybersecurity policies for educational institutes and universities in 2020, according to a report by Microsoft Security Intelligence. The report showed that the education industry was the most targeted sector for malware attacks in the last 30 days. Conclusion: The recommendations for improving the security of e-learning systems. Some of these include implementing policies that restrict access to the resources and applications, updating security patches, and using cryptographic protocols.

Technology is rapidly evolving in a world driven by social networks, online transactions, cloud computing and automated processes. But with the technological evolution comes the progress of cyber-crime, which continuously develops new attack types, tools and techniques that allow attackers to penetrate more complex or well-controlled environments, produce increased damage and even remain untraceable. The present article aims to get an overview of the cyber-crime as it is defined and revealed by specialized literature, international legislation and historical facts, and perform an analysis of attacks reported all around the world over the last three years in order to determine patterns and trends in cyber-crime. Based on the results of the analysis, the article presents countermeasures that companies may undertake in order to ensure improved security that would support in defending their business from attackers from an information security perspective.

Information technology and its applications surround us and those have become crucial to our lives. However, the understanding of the digital world is not as strong. Successful and functional cybersecurity is a vital component for the defence of a civilised society. This study looks at how cybersecurity has been handled in thesis written at one University of Applied Sciences and what kind of topics have been chosen by thesis writers, and what is written about cybersecurity in them to understand how cybersecurity is seen in higher education. The goal of this paper was to find out how cybersecurity has been handled in theses and what kind of topics have been chosen by thesis writers. The two research questions are: what theses have been published that handle cybersecurity; and how does cybersecurity in them? As typical of a case study, attention is paid to a small number of cases (n = 15) attempting to describe the phenomenon they represent. Of the fifteen theses, two were master’s an...

Cyber security, also referred to as information technology security, focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction [1]. In the last decade, buffer overflows have been ubiquitous [2]. Another type of attack that is becoming universal is remote client-side attack [3]. It is very important to clearly understand the types of attacks, and the steps to be taken to prevent such security attacks. This paper aims to elucidate primary factors relating to security. I also go further to provide information on some more common types of attacks and steps to be taken to avert them. The lethality of these types of attacks could hinder the growth of the Internet.
