What is Malware?

 Malware can bring about a variety of issues on a website, including the site crashing or being utilised to steal data. There are numerous ways that malware can be installed on your computer, including

·        visiting a website with malware. Keep in mind that if you don't have the most recent antivirus software, you are exposed, and even then, some hackers may try to get past this by masking their malware as something else (like fake Windows updates). Avoid visiting dubious websites or clicking on links in emails from unidentified senders.

·        opening an email attachment with a virus. The likelihood is high that your computer will get infected with malware if you open an email attachment that appears legal but is actually malware. Take no chances! Just get rid of them!

·        use a phishing email's link. Users may unknowingly enter their login information for real accounts, such as bank accounts or social media profiles, on fake websites when they click links in phishing emails. This gives hackers access to personal data like credit card numbers, which they can use to make purchases online using these stolen cards without the user's consent (and without having paid any money out themselves).
