Cyberinsurance

Cyberinsurance covers a number of areas not normally spelled out in traditional policies. These areas include denial-of-service attacks that bring down e-commerce sites, electronic theft of sensitive information, virus-related damage, losses associated with internal networks crippled by hackers or rogue employees, privacy-related suits, and legal issues associated with websites, such as copyright and trademark violations.

Eavesdropping

This term originally referred to simply listening in on a conversation, but now it has taken on digital implications. The interception of e-mail, voicemail or facsimiles now falls under eavesdropping. This type of data collection can present an easier way of obtaining relevant passwords and authentication keys without needing to enter a secure system.

Packet Sniffing

This technique is used to appropriate valid TCP/IP network addresses by reading packets. Malicious code can then be labeled with the trusted network address and sent through the network unquestioned.

网上保险

网上保险覆盖了传统的保险政策下通常不涉及的多个方面。这些方面包括让电子商务网站停顿的拒绝服务攻击、敏感信息的电子偷窃、与病毒有关的破坏、因黑客或无赖雇员造成的内部网络失效带来的损失、与隐私有关的诉讼以及与网站有牵连的法律问题，如侵犯版权和商标等。

偷听

此术语最初只是指听人对话，但现在它已有数字的含义。截获电邮、声邮或传真等都属偷听。收集这类数据是一种较容易的、无需打入保密系统就能获得有关口令和认证密钥的方法。

包侦查

此技术用于通过阅读包来盗用有效的TCP/IP网络地址。这样，恶意代码可以伪装成从可信的网络地址发出来，从而不受怀疑地在网上发送。
