10 Cyberattacks that could be Coming for you in 2023
Cyberattacks are the last thing that you want your business to face going into the new year. As cyberattacks get more and more advanced the number of businesses that fall victim to them each year is staggering. Cybercriminals have all types of tricks up their sleeves to make them successful. But before we even get into which cyberattacks are coming for us, we must first identify what a cyberattack really is. A cyberattack is when an unauthorized third party can gain access to your system or network. Once that has taken place it creates several negative effects which end up creating a disaster for the business. It could potentially lead to data breaches, data losses and even data manipulation, let alone the legal operational, and reputational damages that follow.
Ten different types of cyberattacks to watch for in 2023
- Malware attack– One of the most common cyberattacks using malicious software

- Ransomware attack– Where a hacker gains access to your organization to encrypt your files then demanding a ransom to decrypt them,
- Password attack-Where a hacker will use various programs to crack your passwords and gain access to your systems
- Man-in-the-middle attack-The hacker gains access between a client and a host to eavesdrop and steal or manipulate data
- SQL Injection attack- The hacker will enter malicious code into a search box to make the system or database reveal all its information
- Denial-of-service attack- Hacker’s target servers or certain networks to flood them with traffic stopping business
- Insider Threat- Could be an individual from inside your organization, whether they accidentally or maliciously cause damage
