Malware

Its a malicious software that is deployed by a threat actor to wreak havoc on


an organization or individual. Malware is usually found attached to emails,
embedded in fraudulent links, hidden in ads, or lying in-wait on various sites
that you might visit on the internet. The end goal of malware is to harm or
exploit computers and networks, often to steal data or money.
TYPES OF MALWARE

Spyware
Cybercriminals use spyware to monitor the activities of users. By logging the
keystrokes a user inputs throughout the day, the malware can provide access
to usernames, passwords, and personal data.

Virus
It infects other programs and can spread to your operating system, in addition
to performing its own malicious acts. A virus is attached to a file and is
executed once the file is launched. The virus will then encrypt, corrupt, delete,
or move your data and files.
Worms
A worm can duplicate itself in other devices or systems. Unlike viruses, worms
do not need human action to spread once they are in a network or system.

Ransomware
Arguably the most common form of malware, ransomware attacks encrypt a
device’s data and holds it for ransom.

Adware
commonly called “spam” — serves unwanted or malicious advertising. While
relatively harmless, it can be irritating as adware can hamper your computer’s
performance.
