ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Electronic attack

Alright kiddo, so you know how sometimes people can say mean things to other people to either hurt their feelings or get them to do something they want?

Well, electronic attack is kind of like that, but with machines instead of people. It's when someone uses special tools or software to try and hurt or control other machines or computer systems.

For example, imagine you have a toy car and your friend has a remote control that can make it go forward or stop. If your friend uses their remote to make your car crash into a wall, that's kind of like an electronic attack.

Now, grown-ups can use electronic attack tools to do things like block websites from working or even take control of important computer systems that run things like transportation or hospitals. That's why it's important for people to know about electronic attack and how to protect their machines from it.
