Cybersecurity threats face the US similarly to other national security risks but differ in being largely invisible and harder to attribute. Common cyber attacks include phishing, malware, and distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks which aim to steal data, disrupt networks, or demand ransom according to the FBI's 2020 Internet Crime Report. Cyber attacks can achieve significant damage through data breaches, infrastructure disruption, and ransomware that encrypts files until payment is made as cited by the FBI report.
