Yes, I have an experience in cyber attack. In my organisation, we have recieved a e mail stating as emergency and many of us opened it without hesitating. We got attacked by pishing and our credentials to email got hacked by it.
With this experience, we got trained over network issues and especially about pishing and email spams. While opening any email check for the spellings and grammar of the subject of the email and the sender who sends it. having knowledge over internet threats itself ensures our data security over a network.
