Digital vandalism refers to the intentional destruction or defacement of digital property, such as websites, online accounts, or digital art. This can include actions like hacking into a website to alter its content, posting offensive material, or spreading malware. The goal is often to disrupt, embarrass, or harm the reputation of individuals or organizations. Common forms of digital vandalism include defacement, where a website's appearance is changed, and DDoS attacks, which overwhelm a site with traffic to make it inaccessible. Such acts can lead to financial losses, damage to brand reputation, and legal consequences for the perpetrators.
