What are the typical outcomes of cyberattacks?

Typical cyberattacks usually end with one or more of the following outcomes:

• Data breach — attackers gain access to confidential information.
• Service disruption — for example, DDoS attacks lead to resource unavailability.
• Malware installation — installation of viruses, Trojans, ransomware.
• Financial losses — through theft, extortion, or security fines.
• Loss of user trust and reputational risks.

Depending on the goal and type of attack, the consequences can vary, but they usually negatively impact the security and stability of systems.
