Unknown Story

Sir, I've just been informed that we have been affected by an APT.
What?! How could this have happened?
No. APT stands for Advanced Persistence Threat. Its a long term hacking method to gain valuable information. It means that our computer system has been infiltrated and valuable information has been leaked.
APT! Does that mean it's Apple Pie Time?!
Typically, the first stage of APT is infiltration. This happens when malicious software is uploaded. This can happen through methods like spear-phishing or social engineering.
What!? How could this happen?
Next, after the intruder has infiltrated the network, they slowly and carefully move laterally and upwards through the network to gain access to more important information.
Spear-Fishing?
Finally, after they have found the information they want, the cybercriminals carefully extract the information they want into one of their own systems, sometimes using methods like DDoS attacks to distract the security teams. They then remain undetected for as long as they can, adding backdoors and lingering for more information until they are removed.
This is awful! How can people prevent attacks like this?
Individual people don't need to be worried about APTs. Companies and governments are the main targets of these attacks. The best way to prevent these attacks is for members of the company to avoid suspicious emails that would lead to a data breach.
Maybe I shouldn't have click on that email about apple pies?
Got it!
