The cyber-world is developing with each passing second and one needs to know how to protect themselves from cyber-attacks as they are also growing at a much faster pace. This research paper shed light on the recent cyber-threats faced by not only the individuals, corporates, governments but also by the nations globally. The paper focuses on the top attacks which have actually changed the perspective of an attack. The attacks are not just limited to disrupting the functioning of the system, deleting some files, stealing the customers’ identity or breach for monetary benefits rather it is more hazardous as these days attacks are involved in being used as a cyber-weapon. The paper also discusses about one of the most mysterious hackers that lead to the most devastating cyber-attacks in the history of the cyber-world.
