The Russian invasion of Ukraine for instance takes place not only on the battlefield: Ukraine is looking for hackers to declare a digital war against Vladimir Poutine\u2019s country.
In fact, in the 21st century, war is not only fought with weapons, Computer cyber attacks have also become a fairly powerful means to wage a digital war. Truth to be told, this is a war where anyone can join, without the need for a machine gun. It is in this sense, that the Ukrainian government appealed to hacktivist movements to join a cyber war against Russia. The project is coordinated via the messaging service Telegram.<\/p>\n
In parallel, some assert that Russia has been for years carrying out digital attacks against its enemies.
\nHowever, nothing can be confirmed or proven in such a war. In other words, it is impossible to verify which groups or individuals are behind a cyberattack and what motives they are pursuing.<\/p>\n

By cyberattack, we mean all the electronic attacks that take place over a network connection and which take place in a virtual cyberspace. Attacks of this type aim to circumvent or overcome the existing security barriers in computer systems.
For instance various systems, software and methods such as phishing, ransomware and spoofing are used to spy or misappropriate confidential or personal data. These malicious programs are now so sophisticated and highly developed that conventional defence and traceability options are often limited.<\/p>\n
Theoretically any computer connected to a network can be the victim of a hacker attack. The only way to get oneself protected against a cyber attack is to have a customized and reliable cyber security solution to minimize risks.
Moreover, recent studies show that cyber criminality increases from year to year. Attackers repeatedly attempt to take advantage of particularly vulnerable enterprise systems and skilfully exploit their possible weaknesses. They often aim for a ransom. On the other hand, some cyber threats also have deeper motives, sometimes political and this is the case for Ukraine and Russia. In this event, attackers attempt to steal, destroy or hijack systems and data in the name of “hacktivism”.<\/p>\n

The purpose of a cyber attack is to disturb business processes or to damage permanently the reputation of the target. Thus, cybercriminals use various techniques to launch a cyber attack including malware and spyware like Trojan horse virus, viruses or malware.<\/p>\n

These last years, cybercriminals are increasingly perfecting their methods and constantly find ever more treacherous ways and means to launch attacks on the computer systems of their victims.<\/p>\n
Some of the most notorious and common methods include : <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
