Malware

Anyone who uses the internet should be aware of the types of malicious software that exist. Malware is software developed by cyber attackers with the intention of gaining access or causing damage to a computer or network, often while the victim remains oblivious to the fact there's been a compromise. Types of malware include viruses, trojans, spyware, ransomware, adware, worms, and more.
