What does "Active Cyber attack mean"?
An active attack is a network exploit in which a hacker attempts to make changes to data on the target or data en route to the target.

There are several different types of active attacks. However, in all cases, the threat actor takes some sort of action on the data in the system or the devices the data resides on. Attackers may attempt to insert data into the system or change or control data that is already in the system.

Active attacks contrast with passive attacks, in which an unauthorized party monitors networks and sometimes scans for open ports and vulnerabilities. Passive attackers aim to collect information about the target; they don't steal or change data. However, passive attacks are often part of the steps an attacker takes in preparation for an active attack.
