exploit kits

Exploit kits are tools used by cybercriminals to automate the process of delivering malware to victims' computers. They typically take advantage of software vulnerabilities, such as outdated browser plugins or operating systems, to infiltrate a user's system without their knowledge. When a user visits a compromised website, the exploit kit identifies any security weaknesses and deploys malicious software, which can steal personal information, install additional malware, or control the device. Essentially, exploit kits serve as a gateway for criminals to exploit security flaws and carry out various malicious activities online.
