Self-Propagating Malware and Other Cybersec Trends
The struggle between cybersecurity and cybercrime has become more complicated than ever before.
In the old days, it took two to do the malware tango. The first dancer was the corrupted link, file, or program, while the other was the user. The user had to open an attachment, download a file, or do other actions before the malware could spread. Today, there are newer forms of hybrid malware, and all are scary.
Take ransomware crypto worms, for instance. These buggers are network-based and don't need human intervention to spread. Malware that self-propagates is tougher to catch and can spread at the speed of the network they're in. Security experts agree that self-propagating malware can potentially take down the internet.
