küberrünnak

Küberrünnak refers to a malicious attempt to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or digital devices. These attacks can originate from individuals, organized groups, or even nation-states, and their motives vary widely, including financial gain, political activism, espionage, or simply causing disruption.

Common types of küberrünnak include malware, such as viruses, worms, and ransomware, which can infect systems and compromise data. Phishing attacks, which attempt to trick users into revealing sensitive information like passwords or credit card details, are also prevalent. Denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks aim to overwhelm a system or network with traffic, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users.

The impact of küberrünnak can be severe, ranging from data breaches and financial losses to reputational damage and disruption of critical infrastructure. Organizations and individuals employ various security measures to mitigate these risks, including firewalls, antivirus software, regular software updates, strong passwords, and user education on cybersecurity best practices. Governments also play a role in establishing cybersecurity regulations and law enforcement capabilities to combat cybercrime.
