👉 A computing weapon, also known as a cyber weapon or cyber warfare tool, refers to software or hardware designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems and networks. These tools leverage advanced computing capabilities to conduct cyberattacks, such as data breaches, ransomware, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. They can be employed by nation-states, terrorist groups, or criminal organizations to achieve strategic objectives, including espionage, sabotage, and influence operations. Modern computing weapons often incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance their effectiveness, making them a critical component of contemporary cybersecurity threats and defense strategies.
