The Digital Zoo: Taming the Wild Beasts of the Internet
Jakob Stanfield

The internet is a jungle teeming with digital predators. Here's your field guide to the most notorious creatures:

  1. Viruses: The Common Cold These buggers attach to your files and spread faster than office gossip.

  2. Worms: The Party Crashers No invitation needed – they replicate and crash your network bash.

  3. Trojans: The Wolves in Sheep's Clothing They promise a good time but leave you with a digital hangover.

  4. Spyware: The Nosy Neighbor Always peeking over your digital fence, stealing your secrets.

  5. Ransomware: The Digital Kidnapper It locks up your files and demands a hefty ransom. Talk about highway robbery!

Protect yourself: Keep your antivirus updated, avoid sketchy downloads, and back up your files. Remember, in this digital safari, common sense is your best defense. Stay vigilant, fellow cyber explorer – the wild web awaits!
