Attacks Against Websites

Website attacks are malicious actions impacting web resources on the Internet.

Types of website attacks

Attacks of this kind are usually classified into mass and targeted types.

Mass attack

Attacks of the first type target a site as a whole and are usually automated. In mass attacks, attackers use their knowledge of popular tools and widespread vulnerabilities.

Targeted attack

Targeted attacks, on the other hand, are usually carried out by manually searching for vulnerabilities and exploiting them. The damage inflicted by an attack of this type can be fatal.
