Worms are also a specialized form of malware that vigorously spread across multiple computer systems. Worms typically cause hindrances to the computer system and eat up bandwidth with payload that may even damage the system. Worms, unlike viruses, do not require any human intervention to multiply or replicate. They have the capability of self replication.
In the previous chapters, we have already established the fact that the most popular attacks are malware, phishing, or cross-site scripting. Other ways of malware spreading within the network systems are through malware injections.
