What is a cyber Exploit?

A cyber exploit is a piece of software, a code or a set of commands that takes advantage of a vulnerability in order to execute unintended or unauthorised actions.





Cyber exploits are often used to gain access to systems or networks without authorisation, or to steal or manipulate data. They can also be used to take control of systems or networks, or to launch attacks against other systems or networks.


Cyber exploits are often created by hackers or security researchers, but they can also be created by malicious actors.


Many cyber exploits are available for purchase or download on the dark web, and they are often used in cyber attacks.


Examples of cyber exploits include the WannaCry ransomware exploit, the EternalBlue exploit, and the Mirai botnet exploit.


The best way to protect against cyber exploits is to ensure that your systems and networks are up to date with the latest security patches and that you have strong security defences in place.


You can also use anti-virus software and malware protection tools to help protect your systems from malicious software.
