A:Hey, Cory....did you hear about the break-in?
B:No! Burglars broke in? Did they steal anything valuable?
A:Actually, they might have gotten quite a bit of valuable information. But it wasn't thieves, it was online hackers2.
B:Ah, so somebody broke into our computer system! Oh, good morning, Brenda. Did you hear the news? There was a cyber attack!
C:Oh my! But I thought we had very strong Internet firewalls.
A:We do, but all it takes is one mistake and hackers can come pouring in like an invading army.
B:Does the I.T. department have any idea how this happened?
A:It looks like the hackers got in from an unsecure corporate3 e-mail account.
B:And then they loaded up a virus?
A:Not a virus, but they put spyware or malware into our system.
B:I've heard of spyware but what's malware?
C:Malware is short for "malicious4 software." Malware is any kind of software that is specially5 designed to infiltrate6 a computer system.
B:So spyware is a kind of malware.
C:Sometimes the malware follows each keystroke you make, and then sends the information back to the hacker1.
A:Or, sometimes they install a program called a Trojan horse that steals data.
