Most Notorious Cyber Attacks of 2018

The number of cyberattacks has been increasing every year and the count is endless. The types of cyberattacks are unique and independent without or least similarity of previous footprints. From individual’s personal information to crucial organization data, everything is at stake of the hacker. The cyber-threats threaten systems and devices that we use daily, whether our computer or laptop on which we work daily or our smartphone that we check even till we go to bed, or any other device that is connected to internet. With every app, social networking site, or website, asking us to ‘Allow’ them to access our phone’s settings or contacts, we are inviting them to exploit us and other systems or devices connected on the same network.

The attacks were crucial and even the big giants like Facebook and Amazon were affected. The Indian government also had a tough time when the confidential citizens’ data was leaked. Overall, the hackers have taught many ways of finding the vulnerabilities and exploiting them, sadly, the lessons were criminal-based.
