Our Case Studies
Some of the most common types of cyberattacks and how they can impact individuals and organizations are as follows:
- Software Supply Chain Attacks: Malicious code injected into an application affects all its users.
- Hardware Supply Chain Attacks: Compromise physical components—like compromised firmware in routers or compromised chips
- Commercial Software Products: If attackers breach a software company’s system or compromise their product, they gain access to multiple targets.
- Open-Source Supply Chains: Hackers introduce vulnerabilities into open-source solutions, affecting unsuspecting users.
- Foreign-Sourced Threats: Some countries may embed malicious code in products, unbeknownst to users.
- behind an impenetrable cryptographic wall. The attackers demand a ransom (usually paid in cryptocurrency) for the decryption key. It’s a high-stakes game of digital cat-and-mouse.
- Email Phishing: Scammers craft convincing emails, often posing as well-known companies (like Microsoft or Google), urging recipients to take urgent action—reset passwords, verify accounts, or update information
- Whaling: When cybercriminals set their sights on high-value targets—business executives, celebrities, or prominent figures—it’s called whaling.
- Spear Phishing: A targeted approach. Attackers research specific individuals, gathering information about their jobs, interests, and social lives.
