5 Types of Malware Every Business Should Be Aware Of

Hackers are increasingly exploiting small businesses, with five common types of malware posing particular risks. These include mobile malware, which targets smartphones often overlooked by business security; infostealers, or spyware, which steal sensitive business data; Trojans, malicious programs that mimic legitimate software; adware, which inundates users with pop-up ads; and ransomware, which encrypts files and demands a ransom for their release. To protect your business, it’s vital to recognise the signs of these malware and block installation attempts on all devices.
