Every day, billions of lines of code flow across the internet — connecting us, empowering us, and shaping the modern world. But hidden in that endless stream are silent intruders, pieces of malicious software designed not to build, but to break. We call them malware.

For most people, malware is just a vague term, something heard in passing when an antivirus warning flashes on the screen. But behind that word lies an entire arsenal of digital weapons — each with its own strategy, purpose, and victim. From ransomware that locks hospitals out of their systems, to spyware silently recording every keystroke, to worms spreading like wildfire across the globe, malware is far more than a nuisance. It’s a Cold War, fought not with missiles or tanks, but with code and silent strikes. Nations, criminals, and rogue actors all maneuver in the shadows, gathering intelligence, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Most of the time, you won’t see it, but the tension is always there, humming beneath the surface of our connected world.

This series will take you inside that world. Each post will focus on a different type of malware, unpacking how it works, why it was created, and the damage it has left in its wake. By the end, you won’t just know the names, you’ll understand the story behind them.
