THE MOST DANGEROUS THREAT

On many occasions, any computer threat is called a virus, something that is not entirely correct, since there is a specific name for each threat. In this post, we are going to find out which names are given to each of them and which can endanger not only our personal computer but also the computer network of any company.

It should be remembered that cyber threats and virus will leads you to great loss if not handled properly and that loss will be huge.

It must be remembered that, although DDoS attacks are one of the most lethal that can exist today, there are many other threats like the ones we are going to list below.

Malware- They are codes designed by cybercriminals whose objective is to change the operation of any computer system, especially without the infected user noticing. They have the ability to corrupt the files that you have saved on your hard drive or even destroy certain files.

Spyware- This is spyware that has the ability to collect information from a computer and transmit it without the knowledge of the affected person, endangering the security of the affected computer (passwords, email accounts, bank accounts, etc.)

Ransomware- For both computers and mobile phones, it is one of the fastest growing threats lately. A program locks either of these two devices with a message asking for a ransom so that the user can regain control. A ransom in Bitcoin is required so that the person or persons who have launched this threat cannot be traced.

Phishing- It is another of the great current threats and it comes via email. Through social engineering or with websites that perfectly simulate being authentic websites, confidential information is acquired fraudulently.

Trojans- In this case, it is a program that, when run, provides the attacker with the ability to control the infected computer remotely and often without the user's knowledge.

Worms- They can replicate in a thousand and one different ways in our system, and cause a large number of copies of itself to be sent from our computer to many other computers by e-mail to our contacts and these to theirs, becoming a serious threat.

Backdoor or backdoor- Sometimes, some malicious programmers leave a backdoor in order to bypass the access security systems to be able to access the system with total comfort and without the users' knowledge.

These are just some of the threats that roam the net and that can get us in trouble if we do not pay special attention to correct behavior regarding our access to the Internet, downloading programs or applications or having good anti-malware and antivirus software. This software will help you in detecting all the viruses or threats and will keep you safe in the cyber world where cybercrime is its peak. So you and your team should have an updated antivirus software to keep your information safe.

Antivirus software should be the best one that can handle all the threats and fight against all the viruses, and we should update it time to time so that it fights all the viruses.
