Cross-site Scripting (XSS) Attack

Cross-site Scripting (XSS)

Cross-site Scripting (XSS) is a client-side code injection attack.

What is Social Engineering

Social engineering is a cybersecurity attack. These attacks by cybercriminals use deception via social engagement to convince your team to provide them confidential information.
