Cyber criminals are individuals or groups of people who use computers and networks to commit online crimes. Sometimes using malware programs, they aim to harm other individuals, companies, and governments. Though their methods are varied, cyber criminals frequently employ ransomware, holding your data hostage; and data exfiltration, the unauthorized extraction of your data. Guarding against cyber crime requires the awareness and participation of everyone in an organization.

An infrastructure attack aims to exploit vulnerabilities in the network layer or transport layer. These attacks are called DDoS attacks and include SYN floods, Ping of Death, and UDP floods. Infrastructure attacks can be broken down into two subcategories: volumetric attacks and protocol attacks. Volumetric attacks focus on inundating a server with false requests to overload its bandwidth, while protocol attacks target specific protocols to crash a system.

Data breaches can take many forms, from an unintentional release of information by an unaware employee, to a cyber criminal using stolen login credentials to access sensitive data to a ransomware attack that encrypts a company's confidential information. The types of data that can be involved also vary; it can be personal health information, such as medical records; personally identifiable information like driver's license numbers, financial information, such as credit card numbers; and trade secrets and intellectual property like product designs.

A significant milestone occurred with the reported largest DDoS attack on Amazon Web Services (AWS) reaching 2.3 terabits per second. This is a substantial increase of 70% from the previous record holder, the Memcached-based GitHub DDoS attack in 2018, which measured 1.35 terabits per second. Over the years, these attention-grabbing performance gains in DDoS attacks have been rising consistently, with major high-profile attacks happening every two years.

The term of the day is DDoS-for-hire, a service that allows anyone to purchase and carry out a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. This type of service is modeled after the Software as a service (SaaS) business model and is often profitable because it allows the operator of an Internet of Things (IoT) botnet to conduct a cost-effective attack.

Domain Name System (DNS), often referred to as the "phonebook of the internet," is an important protocol for the overall functioning of the internet, translating domain names into IP addresses and vice-versa. DNS, though, is an inherently insecure protocol and is vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks that can disrupt network and service availability and violate confidentiality of users and their data. This poses a challenge for the teams responsible for ensuring uninterrupted DNS service and maintaining user privacy.
