The TechCrunch Cyber Glossary

This document is a comprehensive glossary of cybersecurity terms compiled by TechCrunch, explaining key concepts such as APTs, botnets, DDoS, ransomware, phishing, exploits, zero-days, spyware, and security practices like E2EE, MFA, OPSEC, and threat modeling. It provides clear definitions, context, and relationships between terms (e.g., malware subtypes, C2/botnets, data breach vs. leak/exposure), aiming to standardize terminology for readers rather than report on a specific cyber incident.
