👉 Browser missiles, also known as browser-based attacks or browser exploits, are malicious scripts or code snippets designed to infiltrate and compromise web browsers. These attacks typically exploit vulnerabilities in browser software or plugins, allowing attackers to execute unauthorized actions on the user's device, such as stealing sensitive information, hijacking cookies, or redirecting users to malicious websites. Browser missiles can be delivered through various vectors, including phishing emails, compromised websites, or malicious downloads. They are particularly insidious because they operate directly within the browser environment, often without the user's knowledge or consent, making them a significant threat to online security and privacy.
