Data mining refers to the process of analyzing and searching through data to find important and valuable items of relevance. The outcomes of data mining are referred to as meta-data. It can involve discovering individual significant data items, providing an overview of multiple data items, or consolidating and clarifying a collection of data items.
Data theft is a deliberate act of stealing data, which can occur through data loss or data leakage events. Data loss happens when a storage device is misplaced or stolen, while data leakage occurs when unauthorised entities get hold of copies of data.
A DDoS attack is a type of DoS attack that aims to block access to a resource by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. The attack can include flooding, connection exhaustion, and resource demand. The goal is to overload larger and more protected victims, which is often done using botnets.
Decryption is the process of converting ciphertext back into its original plaintext form using the same key and algorithm that was used to encrypt it in the first place.
