👉 The "copy weapon" is a term used in cybersecurity to describe a type of malicious software designed to steal, alter, or manipulate digital data by copying sensitive information from a victim's device. This can include personal details like passwords, financial information, and confidential documents, as well as proprietary data for corporate espionage. The weapon typically operates by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or through social engineering tactics to trick users into downloading and executing the malicious code. Once installed, it can covertly capture keystrokes, monitor network traffic, or even encrypt the victim's data for ransom. Detecting and mitigating copy weapons requires robust security measures, regular software updates, user education, and advanced threat detection systems.
