What Is Malware? Cybersecurity Expert Explains

🛡️ What Is Malware? In the past, we talked about viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Today, we use the catch-all term malware—unwanted software that infects your system through phishing emails, rigged websites, or even USB sticks found in parking lots.

🚨 How Does Malware Work?
✔️ Hackers gain access by guessing passwords or exploiting vulnerabilities.
✔️ Initial Access Brokers sell compromised network access.

💡 How to Stay Safe?
❌ Don’t click on suspicious links.
❌ Avoid using personal email on work computers.
❌ Never plug in unknown USB drives.
