👉 FireWire infection, or more commonly referred to as FireWire malware infection, is a type of cyber threat where malicious software exploits vulnerabilities in FireWire (IEEE 1188) networks to infiltrate and compromise devices. This infection can occur through infected USB drives, cables, or devices that are connected to a network via FireWire ports. Once inside, the malware can steal sensitive data, disrupt operations, or even take control of the infected device, potentially spreading to other connected systems. Prevention involves using updated security software, avoiding untrusted USB devices, and ensuring all network connections are secure.
