Cybersecurity attacks are attempts by hackers to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or data. Here are some common types:

1. Phishing: Attackers send fake emails or messages pretending to be from trusted sources to trick people into revealing personal information, like passwords or credit card numbers.

2. Malware: Short for malicious software, malware includes viruses, worms, and trojans designed to damage or disable computers. It can steal, encrypt, or delete data, and even take control of your system.

3. Ransomware: This locks you out of your files or system until you pay a ransom. It often spreads through phishing emails or malicious websites.

4. Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: Attackers intercept and alter communications between two parties without their knowledge. This can occur over unsecured Wi-Fi networks.

5. SQL Injection: Attackers exploit vulnerabilities in web applications to gain access to databases, stealing or manipulating sensitive information.

6. Password Attacks: Hackers use various methods, like guessing, using stolen passwords, or employing software to crack passwords, to gain unauthorized access to systems.
