Introduction to Cyber Espionage
Cyber espionage attacks can take many forms, but they all share the same objective: to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. There are several types of cyber espionage attacks.
Phishing attacks are one of the most common types of cyber espionage attacks. These attacks typically involve an email or other message that appears to be from a trustworthy source, such as a bank or government agency. The message will often ask the recipient to click on a link or open an attachment, which can then install malware or other malicious software on the recipient's computer.
APTs are sophisticated cyber espionage attacks that are designed to remain undetected for long periods of time. They often involve a series of smaller attacks that are used to gain access to different parts of a network. Once the attacker has gained access to sensitive information, they can use it to launch further attacks or sell the information on the black market.
Watering hole attacks involve compromising a website that is frequently visited by the target. The attacker will then infect the website with malware, which can then be used to gain access to the target's computer or network.
Supply chain attacks involve compromising a third-party vendor or supplier that is used by the target. The attacker will then use this access to gain entry to the target's computer or network.
It is important to note that these are just a few examples of cyber espionage attacks. Attackers are constantly developing new techniques and methods to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
