What is GINA interceptor, Disassembler zero-day, Borg ransomware campaign, Zombies and Botnets,

 Zombies and Botnets:

A zombie, also known as a bot, is a computer that has been infected with malware and is secretly controlled by an attacker.

These compromised machines are typically recruited into a botnet, which is a network of such infected devices.

The attacker can then use the botnet to launch various malicious activities, such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, spam campaigns, or stealing data.


GINA interceptor: A GINA (Graphical Identification and Notification Application) interceptor is a program that can intercept the Windows logon process. While it can be malicious, it's not directly related to compromised remote machines.

Disassembler zero-day: A disassembler is a tool used to convert machine code into assembly language. "Zero-day" refers to a newly discovered vulnerability. These terms are not related to compromised machines.

Borg ransomware campaign: Borg is a reference sometimes used for ransomware families that share similar codebases or functionalities. A campaign refers to a specific wave of ransomware attacks. These terms don't describe compromised machines.
