Drive-by downloads

Advanced Security For Advanced Threats

Back to our content

Drive-by downloads are a type of cyber attack where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device without their consent or knowledge, often through vulnerabilities in web browsers or plugins.

These downloads typically occur when a user visits a compromised or malicious website, triggering the automatic installation of malware onto their device.

To avoid drive-by downloads do this;
✅keep software updated to patch known vulnerabilities
✅use security software to detect and block malicious downloads
✅enable click-to-play settings in web browsers
✅exercise caution when browsing online
✅educate users about the risks and safe browsing practices

These measures collectively help mitigate the risk of unintentional malware downloads and enhance overall cybersecurity hygiene😄
