A cyber attack is any attempt by an outside individual or computer to get into your devices and use your personal information without your consent. The most common attacks are viruses, malware, ransomware, spam, phishing scams and identity theft.
Cyber attacks may be designed to access or destroy sensitive data,  extort money or spread viruses. They can destroy businesses and damage financial and personal lives.
The best defense against cyber attacks is a  strong cyber security system with multiple layers of protection spread across computers, devices, networks and programs.
