A type of malicious software known as “fileless malware” infects a computer by using reliable apps. As it doesn’t rely on files and leaves no trace, it is difficult to detect and remove.
Process Hollowing
Using the covert malware injection technique known as “process hollowing,” an attacker suspends a legitimate process, removes its original code, and replaces it with malicious code before the process resumes. Due to this, the virus can operate as a legitimate process and avoid being discovered by security programs.
