Ethical Hacking: Malware Development

Overview

Malware refers to any malicious software that was written and designed with the intention of harming computer devices, networks, systems and computer data. Malware, once gaining access to a computer, can take the form of codes, scripts, active content and other software. Malware is mainly used by hackers to steal personal and sensitive information and to get unauthorized access into one’s computer and network. Malware damages the computer systems and data only after it is introduced and installed into a computer. Therefore, it is important to prevent malware development by installing anti-virus software, firewalls and other software and programs.
