What is Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting
systems, networks, and data from cyber
attacks. These attacks are aimed at
accessing, changing, or destroying
sensitive information, extorting money, or
disrupting normal business processes.

Who is a
Hacker?

Hacker 2

A hacker is someone who uses their technical skills to break into

computer systems, networks, or devices without permission. They
often take advantage of weaknesses in software or hardware to
bypass security for different reasons, such as stealing information or
causing damage.
 WHAT DO HACKERS WANT?
Hackers are often motivated by money. They may steal
credit card information, conduct fraud, or deploy
ransomware to demand payment from victims. Other
common reasons hackers target systems include

Money 01 03 Political or social motives

Hackers aim to steal money through Hacktivists hack for political

TYPES OF
HACKERS
Grey Hat Hacker
 Black-Hat Hacker

These hackers break into systems for personal gain,

such as stealing sensitive data, spreading malware, or
demanding ransom. They attempt to exploit
vulnerability for personal or financial gain. They are
interested in everything, from credit cards to
organizational data
 White-Hat Hacker

These are ethical hackers who test systems in order to

improve their security. They test systems, websites,
and networks to find weaknesses before criminals can
exploit them. They often work for companies,
governments, or as security consultants to help
prevent cyberattacks.
 Grey-Hat Hacker

These are individuals who work both offensively and

defensively at various times. We cannot predict their
behavior. Sometimes they use their skills for the
common good while some other times they may use
them for their personal gains.

7 Phishing
Phishing is a type of cyberattack where
attackers impersonate a trusted source,
such as a bank, company, or friend, to trick
individuals into revealing sensitive
information or taking actions that benefit
the attacker. They may create fake
websites resembling familiar ones like G1B,
Faceb00k, or Wi-Fi networks
