Access Attacks

 

Access attack is a catch-all phrase to encompass a variety of forms of unauthorized access of computer resources. An access attack could be an outside individual, or a group that uses various methods to gain entry to a network and, from there, steals confidential information or engages in destruction of resources. An access attack could also be an inside (trusted) user getting into areas they aren’t authorized to use. Their intentions could be curiosity or the same as the outside hackers.
