Cyber criminals –what’s their M.O.? USCERT says Attackers focus on exploiting client-side systems (your computer) through various vulnerabilities. They use these vulnerabilities to take control of your computer, steal your information, destroy your files, and use your computer to attack other computers.

An attacker can create a malicious web page that will install Trojan software or spyware that will steal your information.
