Zombie

print-view-button
What does Zombie mean?

A computer connected to the Internet that can be used to perform malicious tasks under remote direction.

Main Idea:

Hackers, viruses and other malware can compromise a computer connected to the Internet so the computer can be directed remotely to perform malicious tasks, such as:

  • Corrupt or destroy data on the infected computer.
  • Steal data from the infected computer.
  • Spy on the user’s activities on the infected computer.
  • Mine cryptocurrencies.
  • Store or relay illegal content.
  • Use the Local Area Network (LAN) attached to the infected computer to install backdoors, ransomware, or other malware on connected computers and devices.
  • Spy on the LAN attached to an infected computer.

The Importance of a Blockchain Alternative

Traditional cybersecurity methods, such as firewalls and passwords, are being attacked in increasingly sophisticated ways that pose serious threats to centralized databases. Decentralized blockchain databases and blockchain-based applications provide new tools to protect the existence and safeguard the integrity of data.

Used in a Sentence

Most owners of zombie computers are unaware their system is compromised.
