Kalley, a shopping freak, often visits different e commerce websites from her office system.

Kalley’s actions inadvertently introduced malware into the network. Here’s how:

Decoy Application:

A decoy application is a seemingly legitimate software or tool that disguises itself as something useful or appealing.

In Kalley’s case, she received an email claiming that the software was loaded with new clothing offers. Tempted by this, she downloaded it.

Unfortunately, the software turned out to be malicious, infecting her system.

Decoy applications often exploit users’ curiosity or desire for freebies, enticing them to install harmful software.
