Ok friends. 


Today is about Malware attacks.

Here is a video to watch if you don't have time to read the whole blog:





Malware is combination of the words "malicious" and "software." 


This is a generic term that includes any type of software designed to harm or exploit computer systems, networks, or devices.


Different types of malware could be viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, and many more.


The whole intent behind the action of creating a malware is pure malicious. 


That could be for different reasons, like: stealing sensitive information, disrupting company operations or simply financial gains. 


This type of attack is designed to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of digital information which leads to data breaches, financial losses, or operational disruptions. 


Thank you for watching the video all the way to the end.


Remember to activate multi factor authentication on all of your accounts.  


Stay safe and I will see you in the next one.

  Fileless Malware Attacks In Cyber Security Hello friends. Today we talk about fileless malware attacks. If you don't have time to watch the whole video, check this video on my YT channel:  These types of malicious attacks happen without the need for traditional executable files to be stored on a system's hard drive. Unlike other malware that relies on files to execute malicious actions, fileless malware operates by residing in the system's volatile memory, aka RAM. These attacks are based on stealth and evasion. It can evade traditional security measures, making detection and mitigation more challenging for antivirus programs. These types of attacks leverage scripts and system tools to carry out malicious activities directly in the computer's memory. This allows attackers to blend in with normal system activities. Detecting and mitigating fileless malware requires advanced cybersecurity measures. Let’s use analogies to explain these types of attacks. Imagine your comp...

  What Is Eavesdropping In Cyber Security Hello friends,   Today is about eavesdropping. Here is a video to watch If you don't have time to read the article:   This is a technique used by hackers in order to intercept electronic communications.   It involves a third party secretly listening to or monitoring communication without the knowledge or consent of the parties involved.   Hackers can use different methods to implement this technique, like:   Packet sniffing, which is basically intercepting and analyzing data packets as they travel across a network. On the other hand, there is Wiretapping, which is physically tapping into communication lines to intercept conversations. And finally, man-in-the-middle attacks, in which the attacker intercepts and potentially alters the communication between two parties,.   Given the nature of this attack, different actions can be taken for prevention and protection.   Like encrypting end-to-end communication ...
