Kinetic Attack

A cyber kinetic attack is a type of cyberattack that results in physical damage or disruption to real-world infrastructure. Unlike traditional cyberattacks that steal data or disrupt digital services, cyber kinetic attacks have physical consequences, such as shutting down power grids, damaging industrial machinery or causing transportation systems to fail. These attacks often target critical infrastructure and can blur the lines between cyberwarfare and conventional military operations.
