8 Notorious Cyberattacks Everyone Should Know About

It’s become something of a cliché to point out that the increasing digitization of everyday life is a double-edged sword. As our reliance on technology continues to grow dramatically, so too do the number of people and groups looking to exploit that reliance.

Whether it’s our personal and financial information, our overall privacy, or the broader global economy, the last few decades of unprecedented progress seem to have introduced as many new vulnerabilities as they have opportunities.

Indeed, technology has facilitated the creation of an entirely new type of crime — the cyberattack — and these attacks have continued to grow increasingly in complexity, prevalence, and impact.

Though the term “cyberattack” is fairly broad in scope — covering everything from direct attacks on computer networks and infrastructure to data breaches and broader hacking activities —it is only a fraction of the actions that fall under the larger umbrella of cybercrime. Today we want to take a look at some of the most notorious examples of these cyberattacks, the methods employed by attackers, and the lasting impacts of their crimes.

For this list we will not be including attacks widely agreed to be cases of government espionage or cyberwarfare, as they likely deserve a list entirely of their own.
