Xehook is a type of malware that infects computers, specifically targeting Windows operating systems. It is designed to steal sensitive information from users, such as login credentials, banking details, and personal data.
Xehook typically infects computers through malicious email attachments, fake software downloads, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in the system. Once installed, it runs in the background of the computer, logging keystrokes, capturing screenshots, and sending the stolen information to remote servers controlled by cybercriminals.
To protect against Xehook and other malware, users should always be cautious when opening email attachments or downloading software from unknown sources. It is also important to keep security software up to date and regularly scan the computer for any signs of infection.
