After the technological advances, the volume of the digital data pool has fallen into a hazardous game due to cyber and physical attacks, expanding the scope of attacks and raising security concerns. In addition, cyber attackers are using new techniques to manipulate security systems and automate attacks, making cyber security more valuable than ever. It is essential to meticulously address hardware, software, communication, and physical-layer vulnerabilities, identify the main causes of attacks, and detail the operational evolution of attack types. Especially in complex and functionally active cyber-physical power systems (CPPS), safe and reliable operation must be guaranteed with timely detection and defense actions depending on the extent of the attack. This review explains the key terms of cyber security analysis in CPPSs and provides an in-depth overview of the process and aftermath of threats based on attack types. It discusses traditional and next-generation cyber and physical attacks and vividly illustrates the importance of security through real events resulting in cyber vulnerabilities, making the topic more relatable. The study meticulously evaluates the individual and social damages of various cyber-attack practices. It concludes that reinforcing the cyber security of digitalized energy systems is essential for national security and economic stability.
