    Computer viruses are malicious programs that replicate by inserting copies of themselves into other programs and files. When the replication succeeds, the infected areas are said to be "infected". Viruses often perform harmful activities on infected computers. Trojan horses masquerade as benign applications but are actually destructive programs. Unlike viruses, they do not replicate but can still damage systems. Salami attacks involve multiple minor security breaches that together result in a larger attack, making the crimes difficult to detect. Computer viruses can slow systems, damage boot sectors, and allow others to take control of computers. Users should download antivirus software to protect against viruses.

    WHAT IS
    COMPUTER
    VIRUS?

    A malware program that, when executed, replicates by inserting


    copies of itself (possibly modified) into other computer programs,
    data files, or the boot sector of the hard drive
    When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to
    be "infected".
    Viruses often perform some type of harmful activity on infected hosts.

    TYPE OF
    COMPUTER
    VIRUS
    TROJAN
    HORSE

    SALAMI
    ATTACK!

    TROJAN HORSE
    A destructive program that masquerades as a benign application.
    Unlike viruses, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves but they can be just
    as destructive.
    One of the most insidious types of Trojan horse is a program that claims to rid
    your computer of viruses but instead introduces viruses onto your computer.

    Trojans can be employed by cyber-thieves and hackers trying to gain


    access to users' systems.
    Users are typically tricked by some form of social engineering into loading
    and executing Trojans on their systems.
    Once activated, Trojans can enable cyber-criminals to spy on you, steal
    your sensitive data, and gain backdoor access to your system.

    SALAMI
    ATTACK!!
    A series of minor data-security attacks that
    together results in a larger attack.
    For example, a fraud activity in a bank where an
    employee steals a small amount of funds from
    several accounts, can be considered a salami
    attack.
    Crimes involving salami attacks typically are
    difficult to detect and trace.
