Be Safe While Online: The Surfshark Solution
In our previous blog, "Malware 101", we explored the dark world of malware and viruses, learning how they can compromise our digital security and privacy.
Let's briefly review these concepts to enhance our understanding. Feel free to view our last blog HERE. First, we discovered that "virus" stands for "Vital Information Resources Under Siege," highlighting the importance of ongoing learning in tech. We discussed different types of viruses, such as the Multipartite Virus, Direct Action Virus, Browser Hijacker, Overwrite Virus, Network Virus, and Boot Sector Virus. Each type has its way of disrupting computer systems, leading to issues like data loss, system damage, and operational problems.
Next, we turned our attention to malware, which stands for malicious software. This term covers a range of harmful software designed to infiltrate and damage computer systems. We categorized them into Ransomware, Spyware, Worms, Adware, Trojans, and Botnets. These vary in their functions - from locking down systems for ransom (Ransomware) to collecting user data secretly (Spyware) and even causing widespread disruption in networks (Worms and Botnets). We also discussed real-world examples like the MGM Grand incident, demonstrating the real impact of these threats. Today, we take a step further to introduce a robust solution to these ever-evolving digital threats: SurfShark Anti-Virus.
