I cant even bullshit I was super suprised on how recent these attacks were, and from google news there was dozens of extremely recent attacks. Its very much from a lack of knowledge and experience, along with the older generation and constantly evolving attackers. The world wide web allows for extremely dangerous and unlawful interactions between people putting litterally anyone with online presence at risk.
CSITCyberTraining.pdfThis is my Cybersecurity Training mini course. So now that im an expert and can stop any cyberattack known to man my laptop is safe and I know all of the types of cyberattacks. I didnt actually know how many sub catagories there was to hacking, I hate that these attacks are so private that affected people could never get their justice and the attackers could completely get away with it.
