👉 A harm weapon, often used in cyberattacks and data breaches, is a malicious tool or technique designed to inflict harm on individuals, organizations, or systems. This can include ransomware that encrypts critical data and demands payment for its release, phishing attacks that trick users into revealing sensitive information, or even distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that overwhelm systems and disrupt services. The primary harm lies in the disruption of normal operations, financial loss, data theft, and damage to reputation. Harm weapons can also cause physical harm if they are used in conjunction with other malicious activities, such as industrial sabotage or the release of harmful substances.
