Types of Hacking?

There are lots of types of hacking. We are sharing the top 5 types of Hacking.

1.Social Engineering & Phishing 

Social Engineering & Phishing is the process to find the false or error of the social media and leaked the personal information of the person. In cybercrime, these "human hacking" scams entice suspicious users to uncover data, spread malware infections, or gain access to restricted systems.

5. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS)
