MAJOR CYBER THREATS IN DAILY LIFE

Cyber threats come in various forms, targeting individuals, organisations, and national systems.
Understanding these threats is essential for evaluating why cybersecurity holds such significance
in a digitally dependent world.

Malware

Malware (malicious software) refers to any program designed to damage devices, steal data,

or gain unauthorised access. The term includes viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, adware, and
rootkits. Malware spreads through infected email attachments, pirated software, malicious apps,
and compromised websites.

Phishing

Phishing is a deceptive technique where attackers impersonate trusted entities to trick victims
into revealing sensitive information such as passwords, OTPs (a unique number sent to phone for
authentication), or bank details.
