Threats are not only affecting the applications and online transaction but they are growing into our new technology such as on-board system, home automation and digital devices etc. There are three main sources of treat unavailability, damage to data and damage to the image. Highest number of threats to personal assets are scams or stolen data, however there are other source that need full attention like theft of phones, GPS., telephone etc. Systems are being hacked is due to security flaws in database, personal transaction and lack of tight attention of fake website. The main reason threats are occurred to obtain and profit information to exploit the corporation or the government.
