Malware (short for “malicious software”) is a file or code, typically delivered over a network, that infects, explores, steals or conducts virtually any behavior an attacker wants. And because malware comes in so many variants, there are numerous methods to infect computer systems. Though varied in type and capabilities, malware usually has one of the following objectives:
1. Provide remote control for an attacker to use an infected machine.
2. Send spam from the infected machine to unsuspecting targets.
3. Investigate the infected user’s local network.
4. Steal sensitive data.
Malware delivers its payload in a number of different ways. From demanding a ransom to stealing sensitive personal data, cybercriminals are becoming more and more sophisticated in their methods. The following is a list of some of the more common malware types :
1. Malvertising
2. Cyptojacking
3. Spyware
4. Adware
5. Ransomware
