Threat actors execute cyberattacks, such as phishing, malware attacks, and ransomware\. - [DDoS attack](https://spycloud.com/glossary/ddos-attack/): A DDoS attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal functioning of a targeted server, network, or service by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic from multiple sources\. - [Session Hijacking](https://spycloud.com/glossary/session-hijacking/): Session hijacking is a cyberattack where an unauthorized user leverages stolen session cookies to take control over an established user session, gaining unauthorized access to a protected system or web application\. This allows the attacker to impersonate the victim and perform actions on their behalf, potentially leading to data theft, fraudulent transactions, or unauthorized access to sensitive information\. - [Ransomware](https://spycloud.com/glossary/ransomware/): Ransomware is malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or files until a sum of money is paid\. It encrypts the victim's files, making them inaccessible, and threat actors can then demand a ransom for the decryption keys\. - [Passwordless authentication](https://spycloud.com/glossary/passwordless-authentication/): Passwordless authentication is a security method that allows users to log in to systems, applications, or data without entering a traditional password\. It enhances user experience and security by utilizing alternative means of verification, such as biometrics, tokens, or passkeys, eliminating the need for users to remember and enter a password\. ## Resources - [SpyCloud Annual Identity Exposure Report 2026](https://spycloud.com/resource/report/spycloud-annual-identity-exposure-report-2026/): Explore the 2026 SpyCloud Identity Exposure Report to see what billions of recaptured malware, phishing, and data breach records reveal about the identity attack surface – both human and non\-human – and how to defend your org\. - [SpyCloud 2026 Phishing Pulse Report](https://spycloud.com/resource/report/phishing-pulse-report-2026/): The SpyCloud 2026 Phishing Pulse Report finds 78% of organizations saw phishing rise in the past year and 68% take 4\+ hours to remediate\.
