[@creammando]

@@Kitty-xi1sb yea but malware is too general and have many different types but different types of phishing are very similar so spearphishing doesnt need to be put on the list because its just phishing for a specific person

[@garylove2836]

They are a few malware terms here that are not pursuant to the Comptia rules.

[@fuckyachickenstrips]

​@creammando ill agree to disagree with on this one as the social engineering that goes into phishing varies greatly depending on status level of an individual within a company. Whaling is commonly done via spoofing email/documents that appear to be circulating internally on a more "need to know" basis and lean in on personalization while general spearfishing targeting larger groups of grunts within a company can be anything from "are you happy at work" and "see salary ranges for your position" to "fill out this survey, love HR". Grunts expect very "all hands" generalized emails while higher ups tend to be cc'd for inclusion or are the email target for very specific groups of information.

[@starryskies0]

Yo, don't worry! They won't target you too much because you aren't famous or wealthy or whatever. When someone gets hacked, the hacker probably sells their info on the dark web. But low chances of someone buying the info if they're a nobody ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Try not to click on random links or adverts. If you pirate things, be very cautious because you have a higher chance of getting a virus or being hacked. Pirate and get all of your software in general, from trusted sources ONLY. Some more advice I have is to keep up with the latest security vulnerabilities and learn how to avoid them. If you're still scared, it's okay because being hacked isn't fun.

[@ItzMistyy]

just don't do dumb stuff, if you want to download something do it from an official website and do research abt it

[@deputyhobbs9683]

Word of advice about rat viruses (from experience) If it's the direct kind and not the stealthy type, and you catch the hacker in the act, disable your network and boot the computer in safe mode until you find where the virus is. Some systems will show recently downloaded and modified files so it should be rather easy to locate the rat as I had to do that

[@justsomeweirdduck3311]

Correction on rootkit: Rootkits themselves are not inherently designed to give a malicious actor remote access to a computer, but can do so. Rootkits are designed to be stealthy and concealed, and usually are used to protect other pieces of more specialized malware (like keyloggers) from traditional security measures. The term "root" in rootkit is named after the "root" permission level of unix-based operating systems (administrator/system on windows). Rootkits usually operate at ring 0 (kernel) and can be very difficult to detect, but some are only run in the userspace. Some special types of rootkits can overwrite the master boot record (mbr) or hijack other parts of the boot process. This type of rootkit is called a "bootkit" and be very difficult to detect and remove, even surviving drive wipes. While technically a rootkit can be bundled with a RAT or have RAT functionality, rootkits are often designed to maintain high permission levels on a computer, as well interfere with standard security measures. As such, rootkits are nasty pieces of malware which can bring great harm to a system or network if designed correctly. No hate! Just wanted to clear this up! :)

An April Fools Day video that is not an April Fools joke?

7:51 isnt file shredder a type of wiper? yes, you gotta trigger it yourself but like i think it still fits

[@ANASPANremoverandomcrits]

Wouldn't it make sense to call this "Every Type of Computer Malware" instead? Or maybe "Cyber Attack".

[@connorchil]

I agree with changing it to malware instead of virus but I don’t think there are enough cyber terms to say “cyber attacks” which was also my first thought after hearing DDoS

[@Moggus1]

Virus is just a blanket term

[@Leooocollins]

Cyberattacks is about right here, 'malware' applies where the attack is some form of software e.g. worm/virus/trojan, pretty much everything before RAM scraping. Most of the things afterwards are either network-based or just methods to describe an attack but not really an attack itself. Social engineering is sort of an umbrella term for other things mentioned in the video that play on the human and may/may not lead to malware infection i.e. phishing, adware, malvertising. Regardless of any pedantic wording necessities, vid's accurate :)

[@indig0283]

I think "computer virus" is a more understandable term for the average user

The viruses in my computer aint gonna like this one

[@yytyyy5329]

I heard a girl on a KZbin video talk about how she got malware on her computer and contacted the person who "made" it I suppose. And he asked for a bunch of money so she could fix it, like how can you destroy someones computer then ask for money? 😔

[@ArchoDarko]

I once got a cryptojacker, my memory was at 100% and my PC looked like it was gonna set on fire. II think the program name was "Garten of Banban"

[@Purplesnurple208]

Imagine if this video had a computer virus

[@starryskies0]

At least I'm watching on mobile

[@dorotazarzycka6989]

6:45 Somebody tried to do that to me by SMS, hiding it as a free money scam or something, my dad :) told me to delete that.

[@dorotazarzycka6989]

It also was in diffrent languages, and I had to find the eng. one among many.

[@shiro.ver1]

I pray for the poor soul who might get a key logger onto my computer.

[@Donobodude]

3:43 How did you know I was watching KZbin?? You must be running spyware on my computer!!!1!!1!11!!1!!!!

5:45 actually happened to my old computer once that sneaky little installer program changed the actual Mozilla Firefox shortcut on the start menu and the desktop so that every time I would click on it, it would open the hijacked home page it took me several months to figure out how to remove

[@aayanscreativelab1786]

New fears unlocked

[@SquareFoil31362]

It's really interesting how connected these things are.

[@starry.constellations_]

trojan got its name because of the trojan horse story! when they disguised the attack as a gift! (this may be common sense but i love history)

[@Remastered2_thecool]
