How to use malware in a sentence?

  1. Karim Hijazi:

    The fact that were seeing something as old as Ramnit show up in WHOs network is a really bad sign. This trojans activity that weve been tracking as it beacons back to the attackers network is just the smoke of what is probably a much bigger fire going on inside their network, it could be a raging inferno on the inside. If something as ancient as Ramnit can get through their defenses, they have much bigger problems. It means newer malware probably doesnt have much trouble slipping in too.

  2. Corey Price:

  5. Allan Liska:

    Ransomware is like the Travis Kelce of malware, everyone knows it is coming, but so few organizations can stop it.
