* Types of Hacking Attack *

********************

This time i am describe main types of Hacking. After that in future i'll explain details each attack.

PHISHING:-
Phishers send an email claiming to be from a reputable site, perhaps saying you’ve won an iPad, but then direct you to a fake site. However it exists only to steal your personal details and often the only difference is the URL.

SMISHING:-
The phone equivalent of “phishing” with scamers sending text messages. Emails are still at risk on a mobile device too, as it is almost impossible to distinguish real sites from fakes on such a small screen.

MALWARE:-
Malware (viruses, worms, trojan horses, backdoors, adware and spyware) is unwanted software put on a user’s device without consent. It has the ability to severely damage a computer as well as allowing external users unauthorized access.

DDOS ATTACK:-
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack)won’t necessarily ruin your computer, however it means you could be taking part in activities of a far larger nature.
