Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s hyperconnected world, a silent battle rages behind every screen \u2014 the fight to defend against ever-evolving cybersecurity threats. Hackers are constantly refining their tactics, looking for vulnerabilities to exploit and data to steal. To protect your organization, awareness is your first line of defense. In this article, we\u2019ll break down the 10 most common types of cyber attacks you need to know but also provide you with the right <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/resource\/automation-readiness-maturity-orchestrated-resources-framework\/\">ARMOR <\/a>insights and strategies to stay one step ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Cyber Attack?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cybersecurity attackers share one goal: to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks in order to steal, disrupt, damage information, or gain unauthorized access. Common types of attacks may include (but are not limited to) malware, phishing, DoS, ransomware, and data breaches. These types of attacks will alter sensitive data and may destroy an organization\u2019s hard-earned reputation. Unfortunately, no one is immune; whether you\u2019re a business owner, a government official, a dedicated member of a <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/soc-team-roles-responsibilities\/\">security operation center <\/a>(SOC) team, a medical practitioner, or a concerned individual, you\u2019re a target.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Most Cyber Attacks Occur?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hackers employ a range of methods to bypass<a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/common-rest-api-authentication-methods-explained-2\/\"> authentication processes<\/a>. It takes one hacker to&nbsp; spot vulnerabilities in a computer system\u2019s defenses and find a way to exploit them. From password cracking to Man in the Middle (MITM) attacks and system vulnerabilities in C2 attacks, there is no avenue untouched. Being malicious is their forte and attackers will not stop for anything to execute their schemes. Sometimes, they\u2019ll even exploit our emotions to execute their malicious schemes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll now take you through the most common types of cyber attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-malware-attacks-nbsp\">1. Malware Attacks&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with Malware, or malicious software, a catch-all term for intrusive programs. Malware, the bane of the digital realm, is solely designed to infect systems. A common example of malware is a botnet attack, a cyber issue that leverages a series of internet-connected devices with only one attacking party. The malware umbrella also includes nefarious entities like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ransomware <\/strong>\u2013 Malware designed to deny a user or organization access to files on their devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trojans<\/strong> \u2013 Malware that downloads onto a computer disguised as a legitimate program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spyware<\/strong> \u2013 Malicious software designed to enter your computer device, gather personal data, and forward it to a third party without your consent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adware<\/strong> \u2013 Malicious software that secretly installs itself on devices and displays unwanted advertisements and pop-ups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Worms<\/strong> \u2013 Malware that replicates rapidly, spreading across devices within a network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With the evolution of hacking, any device is susceptible to malware attacks. Malicious agents can infect any device, from laptops and PCs to tablets and <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/5-enterprise-mobile-device-security-threats\/\">mobile devices<\/a>. Once they infiltrate, chaos ensues \u2013 sluggish performance, incessant crashes, and vanishing storage space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shielding your organization from malware attacks starts with having solid cybersecurity awareness and the right technology within your <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/what-is-a-security-operations-center-soc\/\">SOC<\/a> to help mitigate these attacks. A quick tip \u2013 avoid clicking on suspicious ads, pop-ups, or email attachments from unknown sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-phishing-attacks\">2. Phishing Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phishing is a crafty assault that preys on human vulnerabilities. Perpetrated through emails, SMS, invoices, or websites, it takes the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/mobile-phishing\/\">mobile phishing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/oktapus-phishing-campaign\/\">oktapus phishing<\/a> attacks. Once you take the bait, hackers gain the upper hand, accessing sensitive data, such as login and financial credentials, and eventually compromising your account. Stay vigilant by:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Checking hyperlinks for any grammatical errors or misspellings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steering clear from email links with unknown sources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitoring accounts regularly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping personal information locked up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoiding dubious and<a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/identify-malicious-domains-using-soar\/\"> malicious domains<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installing a <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/soar-automated-phishing-investigation-and-response\/\">phishing automation<\/a> solution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you want to help in alleviating this problem and join the larger operation of cyber attack prevention, report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-identity-based-attacks\">3. Identity-Based Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spoofing and identity attacks involve masquerading as trusted entities to victimize an organization. They use tactics like Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), email, or caller ID. Another form of identity attack is IP address spoofing, where fraudulent sources are created to copy another system, leading to identity theft, <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/cybersecurity-fraud-brand-impersonation\/\">brand impersonation<\/a>, and account takeover. So, it\u2019s crucial to identify these security gaps as early as possible by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creating a secure password&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorporating a multi-factor authentication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cultivating awareness through cybersecurity education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-denial-of-service-dos-attacks\">4. Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you suddenly experience abnormal server or network traffic, these are signs that a DoS attack might be underway. DoS attacks typically target high-profile organizations and government agencies. DoS comes in various forms, but they are primarily classified into three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flood attacks<\/strong> oversaturate server capacity.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buffer overflow attacks <\/strong>consume the central processing units (CPU) time \u2013 the duration the CPU spends executing program instructions or managing disk space.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), are a form of DoS that use various computers to create network traffic. While these attacks are damaging, mitigation strategies can be very helpful. Start by <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/automated-incident-response\/\">automating incident responses<\/a> to streamline the process. Monitoring networks, protecting endpoints and provisioning bandwidth are also suggested.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-code-injection-attacks\">5. Code Injection Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Code injection attacks involve malicious code infiltrating applications, making them difficult to detect. There are two major types of code injection and exploits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A command injection attack<\/strong> interferes with the host operating systems through arbitrary commands.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A SQL <\/strong>(Structured Query Language)<strong> injection attack <\/strong>takes advantage of SQL commands to access database information.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Robust input validation is useful in preventing these attacks. It\u2019s also important to leverage relevant prevention strategies like data sanitization, whitelisting user inputs, and parametrization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-iot-based-attacks\">6. IoT-Based Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, the Internet of Things <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/cyber-security-drivers-part-one-the-internet-of-things\/\">(IoT<\/a>) experienced significant growth, transforming nearly every industry, but in poetic parallel, cybercrime grew too. Even with IoT\u2019s growth, &nbsp; organizations still suffer from major security gaps. A 2022 report by Kaspersky showed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/about\/press-releases\/2022_43-of-businesses-dont-protect-their-full-iot-suite\">43% of businesses have unprotected IoT infrastructure<\/a>. Some of the common vulnerabilities in IoT include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Botnets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ransomware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unencrypted data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To safeguard your IoT devices from the latest cyber attacks, follow<a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/5-best-practices-for-safe-and-secure-remote-work\/\"> the best practices<\/a> for security protection. Maintain up to date software versions and regularly update default login credentials. Additionally, consider implementing network segmentation to enhance your organization\u2019s security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-supply-chain-attacks\">7. Supply Chain Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another emerging cyber attack is the supply chain attack. As the name implies, supply chain attacks affect the supply chain of organizations, targeting third-party vendors and software, and infiltrating the system through an outside provider. Two of the most shocking global cyber attack issues were the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/solarwinds-hack-explained-government-agencies-cyber-security-2020-12\">SolarWinds hacking<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/kaseya-ransomware-attack-sets-off-race-hack-service-providers-researchers-2021-08-03\/\">the Kaseya ransomware attack<\/a>. Following these global cybersecurity attacks, many organizations focused on emphasizing vendor security assessments, software integrity checks, and the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/cyber-threat-intelligence\/\">cyber threat intelligence<\/a> as relevant mitigation techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-insider-threats\">8. Insider Threats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/swimlane.com\/blog\/insider-threat-detection\/\">insider threats <\/a>may be less common, they still exist. There are two key types, depending on the intention\u2015malicious or negligent. The former has a conscious decision and a motive to harm, while the latter doesn\u2019t. Indicators of an insider threat could be behavioral or digital such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unusual resource access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difference in traffic volume<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irregular activity times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensuring robust authentication measures and providing comprehensive employee training in security best practices are your best defenses against these types of threats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-social-engineering\">9. Social Engineering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Social engineering attacks are deceptive tactics that rely on human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities. Instead of exploiting software, attackers manipulate individuals into voluntarily providing access to systems, networks, or sensitive data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These attacks are often the first stage of a broader cyberattack, such as phishing campaigns, business email compromise (BEC), or ransomware deployment. They work by exploiting trust, curiosity, urgency, or fear\u2014emotions that override logical decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Types of Social Engineering Attacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pretexting: An attacker creates a fabricated scenario to gain a target&#8217;s trust and extract personal or organizational information. For example, posing as an IT support specialist requesting login credentials to \u201cresolve an issue.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baiting: This involves luring victims with something enticing\u2014like a free download, a USB stick left in a public space, or a gift card offer\u2014in exchange for sensitive information or installing malware.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tailgating: Often overlooked, tailgating is a physical form of social engineering where an attacker gains access to restricted areas by following closely behind an authorized person, bypassing security controls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quid Pro Quo: Similar to baiting, but with a direct exchange. An attacker may pose as tech support and offer to help solve a problem in return for access credentials or system control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-session-hacking-nbsp\">10. Session Hacking&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Session hijacking is a cyber attack where threat actors steal a user&#8217;s session token\u2014typically stored in cookies\u2014to impersonate them and gain unauthorized access. Unlike attacks that rely on stolen credentials, session hijacking exploits active sessions, often through techniques like packet sniffing, cross-site scripting (XSS), or man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a session is compromised, attackers can access sensitive systems, perform unauthorized actions, or escalate privileges. This type of attack is particularly dangerous in enterprise environments where users have access to critical assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To defend against session hijacking:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enforce HTTPS site-wide<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use secure and HttpOnly cookie flags<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implement session timeouts and MFA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor for unusual session behavior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Ahead of Cybersecurity Attacks with Swimlane&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s cybersecurity landscape, it\u2019s crucial to stay proactive and vigilant.

Trust is shattered, and reputations are tarnished. Legal penalties and regulatory sanctions loom ominously, and the financial toll is staggering with recovery efforts, costing organizations thousands to millions of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cyber Attacks FAQs&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of identity-based attacks?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Identity-based attacks include tactics like spoofing, credential stuffing, and account takeover. These threats often target login credentials to gain unauthorized access, impersonate users, or steal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of different cyber attacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples include malware, phishing, DDoS attacks, ransomware, insider threats, IoT-based attacks, and zero-day exploits. Each targets different vulnerabilities, from human error to system weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most common cyber attacks&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Phishing, malware, ransomware, and DoS attacks are the most common. Phishing alone accounts for over 90% of successful breaches due to its reliance on human error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many cyber attacks are there a day?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, there are over 2,200 cyber attacks per day globally, amounting to nearly one every 39 seconds, according to industry reports..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long do cyber attacks last?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The duration varies: some attacks like ransomware execute in minutes, while advanced persistent threats (APTs) can remain undetected for 200+ days before causing damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are cyber attacks increasing?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyber attacks are rising due to growing digital reliance, expanded attack surfaces (IoT, cloud), AI-enhanced hacking tools, and weak cybersecurity hygiene across many sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bs-div
