###Human: What is Birthday attack?###Assistant: Birthday attacks refer to exploiting the use of similar hashed and stealing the identity of the user. Using longer hashes will prevent it.
###Human: What is Eavesdropping?###Assistant: It is also the type of MITM where an attacker inserts a probe in the communication to listen to confidential data like credentials. Using encryption would mitigate such attacks.
###Human: What is Spear-Phishing?###Assistant: This is one of the most sophisticated attacks where an attakers focses and personalizes the information for the target and tricks him to visit a specific URL or downloads an attachment. Again the best mitigation against this is to check the legitimacy of the sender and check all fields of the email.
###Human: What is Spyware?###Assistant: This type of attack sits in the background of the system and continuously spies on you. It can log your credentials, credit card numbers, and other confidential information. AntiMalware is used for the mitigation
###Human: What is Cryptojacking?###Assistant: Cryptojackers are people who want the benefits of cryptocurrency mining without incurring the huge costs. By not paying for expensive mining hardware or large electricity bills, cryptojacking allows hackers to mine for cryptocurrency without the large overheads.Cybercriminals hack into devices to install cryptojacking software. The software works in the background, mining for cryptocurrencies or stealing from cryptocurrency wallets. You can use specialized browser extensions to block cryptojackers across the web, such as minerBlock, No Coin, and Anti Miner.
