Common Forms of Attack

Hackers can attack to get access to the system, steal valuable information, or even bring down the system that impacts your business. The following are the most common forms of attack on APIs. DoS attacks : Malicious users flood your system with high-volume API traffic that the back-end systems cannot handle, bringing it to a halt.

Scripting attacks : In this kind of attack, attackers inject malicious code into the system to get access and possibly tamper back-end data and assets. The malicious code can be an SQL statement, XPath or XQuery statement, or some script that tries to exploit design flows in the system to get access to back-end data.
