Installing malicious software, or malware, is a method a hacker might to gain access to personal information or access to a victim’s computer.

For this discussion, pick a specific malware, explain what type of malware it is, and how it might be used to compromise a victim. For example, i love you is a worm and it was able to self replicate. This allowed it to clog up systems and prevent users from working.

Then discuss if you have ever been a victim or know someone who was and how they recovered, if they did.
