Web attacks are malicious attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in websites or web applications. These attacks can take various forms, such as SQL injection, where attackers manipulate database queries, or cross-site scripting (XSS), which allows them to inject harmful scripts into web pages. The goal is often to steal sensitive information, disrupt services, or gain unauthorized access. Another common type of web attack is Denial of Service (DoS), which overwhelms a website with traffic, making it unavailable to legitimate users. Cybercriminals may also use phishing techniques to trick individuals into revealing personal information. Protecting against these threats requires robust security measures and regular updates.
