sissenõutud

Sissenõutud, also known as *sisennõutud* or *sisennõutud kood*, refers to a type of malware that infiltrates a computer system by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or user behavior. The term originates from Estonian, where *sisennõude* means "input" or "entry," reflecting how the infection typically begins through user interaction or automated exploits. Unlike ransomware or spyware, which have distinct goals like data encryption or espionage, sissenõutud often serves as a stealthy foundation for further malicious activity, such as installing additional malware or establishing persistent access to a compromised system.

The infection process often begins with phishing emails, malicious downloads, or compromised websites that trick users into executing harmful code. Once activated, the malware may install itself silently in the background, modifying system files or creating backdoors for attackers. Its design prioritizes evasion, making it difficult to detect through traditional antivirus methods. Sissenõutud can also spread laterally within a network, compromising other connected devices.

Mitigation strategies include maintaining up-to-date software, avoiding suspicious downloads, and using reputable security tools. Network segmentation and employee training on cybersecurity best practices can further reduce the risk of infection. While not as widely discussed as other malware types, sissenõutud highlights the importance of proactive defense against evolving cyber threats. Its modular nature allows attackers to adapt its functionality, making it a persistent concern in cybersecurity.
