Active vs. Passive Cyber Attacks: Protect Your Data 🔒

Cybersecurity attacks are broadly classified into active and passive attacks, each posing unique threats. Active attacks involve direct interference where hackers alter, damage, or disrupt data and systems. Examples include malware attacks, phishing, denial-of-service (DoS), and man-in-the-middle attacks. These attacks can cause severe damage, including data breaches, financial loss, and system crashes. On the other hand, passive attacks focus on secretly monitoring or gathering information without modifying any data. Examples include eavesdropping, traffic analysis, and password sniffing. Since passive attacks do not disrupt systems, they are harder to detect but can lead to significant security threats. Understanding the difference between active and passive attacks helps implement better security measures to safeguard data and networks. Stay informed, and stay protected!
