The usage and reliance on the Internet have increased exponentially since the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of people participating in online activities such as e-learning, remote working, and online shopping has risen. As a result, cybercriminals have become more vulnerable. Cybersecurity breaches have become a major issue. Phishing, malware, ransomware, social engineering, identity theft, and denial-of-service attacks are all common forms of cybersecurity attacks. Victims are targeted by attackers to obtain their credentials or financial benefits. People who engage in online activities are at risk of cyber-attacks. This is because the network is not safe. The attackers can code in a way that exploits the Internet's flaws. When attackers gain root access to a computer, they have complete control over it and can do whatever they want with it. The definition of a cybersecurity attack is explored in this research paper, as well as extensive research on actual attacks. Following that, a comprehensive overview of recent cybersecurity attacks is presented, along with a critical analysis. Furthermore, the paper will propose the most recent cybersecurity research contribution at COVID-19, as well as a practical overview with examples of how businesses protect privacy as well as limitations. The paper would then go over the reasons why people are vulnerable to cybersecurity and the one-of-a-kind approach to the issues posed. Finally, this paper will end with an in-depth examination of cybersecurity research's future directions.
