In today's digital age, malware has become a huge threat in the field of network security. As technology continues to advance, malware attack methods are constantly evolving and evolving.
Here are some of the newer malware attacks that are more common today:
**1. Ransomware:**Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the victim's files and then demands a ransom to restore access to the files. In recent years, ransomware attacks have become increasingly common and highly damaging.
**2. Supply chain attack: **Supply chain attack targets weaknesses in the software supply chain, and spreads malware by infecting components in the software supply chain or dependent third-party services. Ability to affect large-scale organizational and personal data security.
**3. IoT malware:** With the popularity of IoT devices, there are more and more malware attacks targeting IoT devices. These attacks can affect the security of smart homes, surveillance cameras, industrial control systems, and more.
**4.AI attack:** The application of artificial intelligence is increasing, but it is also facing new security threats. Malware exploits AI algorithms for attacks, deception, and data tampering, such as trying to deceive AI systems through adversarial sample attacks.
**5. Cloud-based attacks:**With the widespread application of cloud computing, hackers are increasingly targeting cloud services, including unauthorized access, cloud storage leaks, and virtual machine escape.
**6. Vulnerability exploit attack: **Malicious software uses public or undisclosed software vulnerabilities to enter the infected system through targeted attack methods, such as using zero-day vulnerabilities to attack.
Due to the continuous evolution of malware and attack techniques, new attack methods will continue to emerge. In order to protect network security, continuous security awareness and taking corresponding protective measures are very important.
