Description: JavaScript malware refers to any type of malicious software that is written in the JavaScript programming language and can be executed in web browsers. This type of malware exploits vulnerabilities in browsers and operating systems to infiltrate devices and networks. It is often used to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials, financial data, or personal information. JavaScript malware can manifest in various forms, including scripts that automatically execute when visiting a compromised webpage or through the injection of malicious code into legitimate sites. Its browser-based nature allows it to spread rapidly, as users can be tricked into interacting with seemingly harmless content. Additionally, its ability to run on multiple platforms, including desktop computers and mobile devices, makes it a versatile and hard-to-detect threat. Detecting and removing this type of malware requires robust antivirus and antimalware solutions capable of identifying and neutralizing malicious scripts before they can cause harm.
