Identify theft
Identify theft can also impact on individuals. If personal details are stolen during the attack then the attackers can make a copy of those individuals' details. For example, identity theft could result in big debts being run up, or in passports being issued in the individuals names and possibly used for criminal activity.
Data theft
Happens when cyber-security attackers steal computer-based data from a person or business, with the intent of compromising privacy or obtaining confidential data.
Denail of Service (DoS)
A cyberattack where the attackers attempt to prevent authorised users from accessing the service. During a DoS attack the attacker usually sends lots of messages asking the network/servers to authenticate requests that have invalid return addresses.
Safety
Individuals
The use of the internet and Big Data stores means that most businesses, government, departments and the armed forces are inter- connected
Safety
Equipment
This could take the form of a DDoS. A business could be unable to fully function and individuals may not be able to access the internet to carry out day to day tasks such as online banking. A DDoS may also affect the connected home, as devices use the internet to interact.
Safety
Finance
This impact can be while the attack is taking place or after it has ended. Access to financial websites may be denied, along with the financial data of a business being lost. The personal financial data of individuals may be lost, meaning identity theft and fraud may take place.
