👉 Automatic infection, often associated with artificial intelligence (AI) systems or automated processes, refers to the phenomenon where a machine or algorithm is infected by malicious software or vulnerabilities that can compromise its functionality and security. This "infection" can occur through various means, such as exploiting software flaws, phishing attacks, or unauthorized access. Once compromised, the system may exhibit unexpected behaviors, such as data breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or even the spread of malware to connected devices. Unlike traditional biological infections, automatic infection is a digital threat that requires constant monitoring and robust security measures to prevent and mitigate its impact.
