Code Mutation

  1. Evasion of Detection:
    • Unlike traditional malware, polymorphic malware constantly alters its code, making it impossible for traditional antivirus systems to detect it.

 

  1. Data Theft:
    • Once the malware infects a system, it activates keylogging tools, capturing sensitive information like passwords, credit card details, and banking credentials.

 

  1. Network-Wide Spread:
    • Polymorphic malware spreads across multiple devices in a network, ensuring that each time it moves, it alters its code to bypass detection.

 

  1. System Compromise:
    • By hiding its identity and erasing traces of its actions, the malware makes it extremely difficult for authorities and cybersecurity teams to trace its source or recover lost data.

 

  1. Financial Losses:
    • Polymorphic malware poses a significant financial threat, as attackers can use stolen banking information to initiate unauthorized transfers, make purchases, or lock users out of their accounts.
