Malicious software remains one of the most common and destructive threats to networks and users alike. In this episode, we examine different types of malware, focusing on ransomware, spyware, and trojans—each with unique goals and attack vectors. You’ll learn how ransomware encrypts data and demands payment, often targeting entire organizations with devastating speed. We also cover how malicious payloads are delivered, from phishing emails to drive-by downloads, and how endpoint protection systems attempt to detect and contain these threats.
In addition, we explore password-related attacks such as brute force, dictionary attacks, credential stuffing, and keylogging. These methods exploit weak authentication practices and can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and privilege escalation. The episode concludes with prevention strategies including password complexity policies, account lockouts, MFA, and user awareness training. Understanding these threats and how to defend against them is essential for maintaining both personal and enterprise network security.
