What is a cyberattack?

There are numerous types of cyberattacks:

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) – A website is flooded with traffic and crashes. This is the most common form of attack.

Ransomware – Malware is installed on your website and encrypts files. Criminals demand payment to unlock them.

Spear-Phishing – Attackers send emails that appear to be from a trusted source and ask the recipient to download a document or click a link that enables the attacker to steal their credentials.

Whale-Phishing is the same type of attack targeting corporate executives with the goal of gaining access to sensitive information, such as financial documents.

If your site is attacked and your company doesn’t have an IT department that can address the problem, Rescue My Web can help you recover your hacked site. Read more about our recovery services.
