Hybrid Attack
Hybrid Attack is a type of cyberattack where a hacker uses a combination of different techniques to gain unauthorized access to a system or steal sensitive information.
These attacks usually start with the hacker using a phishing email or other social engineering technique to trick a user into giving away their username and password. Once the credentials are obtained, the hacker will use a variety of methods such as stealthy malware, brute force attacks, or password cracking tools to gain deeper access to the network.
The goal of a hybrid attack is to exploit multiple vulnerabilities in a system to maximize the chances of success. This type of attack can be very difficult to detect or prevent because it involves multiple methods and may take place over a longer period of time.
To protect against hybrid attacks, it is important to have strong security protocols in place, including firewalls, antivirus software, and regularly updated software and hardware. Employing two-factor authentication can also help to prevent credential theft. Additionally, training employees on identifying and avoiding phishing emails can help to prevent a hybrid attack from even starting in the first place.
