2. Why are there Cyber-Attacks?
• Basic reasons include:
• Entertainment
• Pure joy and fun for the hacker
• Fortune or Fame
• Gains popularity in the hacker community
• Fraud
• Identity theft or credit card number
• Earning Money
• Threatening or Bribing for personal gain

3. Main attacks on the target
•Loss of Confidentiality
•Loss of Integrity
•Loss of Availability

4. Protection of the Victim through the Cloud:
**Moving target defense**
• The Cloud is another computer, or a
network of computers
• Stores information and resources virtually
in someone else's database. Not your own.
• What Moving Target Defense does:
Copies and moves data, packets, and
information from a server that's being
attacked, to a new server.
• This creates a server that's NO LONGER
being attacked!

5. The Balance Between Safety and Accessibility
• When everything is based around safety and defense, It can be
difficult to manage.
• BUT, when everything is easy and accessible to you, that makes it
that much more accessible to anyone else, including attackers.
• Take any and all considerations of becoming a victim to cyber-
attacks when creating online accounts.

6. Resources and
information
SSH Key: Used as a
more secure and
convenient way of
distributing access to
the cloud
OS

7. User Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
• Problems in an entire online infrastructure can be caused by the
user's error. The service they are using may not be at fault.
• Try to create stronger passwords, check on your accounts, and
have a better mentality of how it can only take one account to have
access to a plethora of resources that can be used against you.

8. Extra Info
•The first virus was created in 1986 by Basit and
Amjad Alvi in Pakistan
