Can you provide an overview of the different types of malware?
Sure! There are several types of malware, including viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, spyware, adware, and rootkits. Each type of malware has its own characteristics and methods of infecting systems, but they all aim to compromise the security and integrity of the targeted device or network.
The most powerful type of malware is called a botnet, which allows the attacker to take control of a large network of infected computers, known as zombies. With a botnet, the attacker can launch large-scale coordinated attacks, steal sensitive information, or use the infected computers to send spam emails or conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
