Common cyber threats include data theft, vandalism, fraud, invasion of privacy, malware, phishing, denial of service attacks, and unauthorized access.

Network attacks on shared networks and the Internet pose more complicated risks to cybersecurity, though social engineering can also be notably difficult to protect against.
