👉 The "internet weapon" refers to malicious software, techniques, or strategies deployed online to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or data. This includes malware like viruses, ransomware, and spyware that can compromise security, steal sensitive information, or cripple services. Cyberattacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) floods networks with traffic to overwhelm them, while phishing scams trick users into revealing passwords or data. State-sponsored hacking, where governments deploy sophisticated tools for espionage or sabotage, and botnets—networks of infected devices controlled remotely—are also key examples. These tools exploit vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure, posing significant risks to privacy, national security, and economic stability.
