👉 A "data attack" is a type of cyber-attack in which an attacker gains access to sensitive or confidential data stored on a computer system. It can take many forms, including hacking into a network, stealing sensitive information from a user's device, or using software programs to gain unauthorized access to systems and networks. Data attacks are considered one of the most serious types of cyber-attacks because they can result in significant damage to an organization's reputation, financial loss, and reputational harm.
