Description: A hacker attack refers to an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in a computer network, seeking to compromise the integrity, availability, or confidentiality of the data stored within it. These attacks can manifest in various forms, including the use of malware, phishing, denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and social engineering techniques. In the context of blockchain, hackers may attempt to manipulate transactions, steal cryptocurrencies, or alter the functioning of smart contracts. The decentralized nature of blockchain networks, while providing greater security compared to centralized systems, does not make them immune to attacks. Identifying and mitigating these threats is crucial to maintaining trust in blockchain technology and its applications. As the adoption of cryptocurrencies and related technologies grows, so does the interest of hackers in exploiting their weaknesses, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity in this field.
