Abstract
The massive global network that connects billions of humans and millions of devices and allow them to communicate with each other is known as the internet. Over the last couple of decades, the internet has grown expeditiously and became easier to use and became a great educational tool. Now it can used as a weapon that can steal someone’s identity, expose someone’s financial information, or can destroy your networking devices. Even in the last decade, there have been more cyber attacks and threats destroying major companies by breaching the databases that have millions of personal information that can be sold online. Cyber-attacks can happen numerous ways and can happen when no one is looking. In this paper we survey several cyber-attacks that has been around and the current ones which will give the readers a quick overview of the finding of this survey. We also arrived at a conclusion that education in this field is very important for companies and individuals to stay safe.
