vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities are weaknesses in a computer system or software that can be exploited by hackers to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or cause damage. Think of them like unlocked doors or open windows in a house—they make it easier for intruders to get in. These weaknesses can be due to outdated software, poor security practices, or design flaws. Identifying and fixing vulnerabilities through updates and security measures is essential to protect systems and data from cyber threats.
