# IPv6 Attacks

An IPv6 attack refers to a malicious activity that specifically targets the IPv6 infrastructure of a network. DesActive pite IPv6’s improved security features, it is not immune to cyber threats. These attacks can come in various forms, such as unauthorized data interception, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, or reflection/amplification attacks that exploit the larger packet size of IPv6. Since IPv6 operates differently from IPv4, it requires distinct security considerations; attackers often exploit these differences
