With the rise of capabilities of said technologies and all their magnificent possibilities, it made possible to harm people, not in a physical way but hurt them none the less. Today everybody is using digital technologies in one way or the other, and no matter what way they use it they are letting themselves be open to all sorts of attack or as they are called in this type of attack the „cybersecurity attack”. But the world has got so evolved that without use of digital technologies people cannot compare or compete with others in any way, we live in digital era and we have to adapt. Using digital technologies in any type or way such as software or hardware is not making user woundable if the said user uses it wisely and with precaution the user can be safe. One of the most dangerous type of cybersecurity attack is cyberwarfare, not in a physical way of war with people hurting and dying but with great damages and it is has been done at large scales where many of the leading countries of the world have been affected such as United states and Russia. This thesis will show you the risk of cybersecurity and explain it in more detailed way in the examples of cyberwarfare and its danger.
