What does it actually mean when someone says a company was “hacked?” 💻🔓



Real cyberattacks usually aren't one magical Hollywood hack. They're a series of smaller steps that build on each other.



In this video, I'm breaking down 5 hacking techniques everyone should understand:



🔎 Reconnaissance

🎣 Phishing & social engineering

🔑 Password attacks

⬆️ Privilege escalation

↔️ Lateral movement



We'll look at how attackers gather information, steal credentials, gain additional permissions, and move through networks - plus how all five techniques can fit together into a larger cyberattack.
