A remote exploit is a type of cyber attack that allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a computer or network from a distance, without needing physical access. This is often achieved by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or systems, such as outdated applications or weak security configurations. Once the attacker successfully exploits the vulnerability, they can execute malicious code, steal data, or take control of the affected system. These exploits can target various systems, including servers, personal computers, and even Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Common methods for launching remote exploits include using malware, phishing attacks, or automated tools that scan for weaknesses. Organizations must regularly update their software and implement strong security measures to protect against these threats.
