A watering hole attack is a type of cyber attack in which the attacker compromises a web site frequently visited by the targeted victims. The attacker then uses the compromised web site to deliver malware to the victims. The type of malware and the attack objectives vary, but typically the attacker is attempting to gain access to sensitive data or exploit the victim’s machine.
