Cnc, short for “command and control,” is an internet slang term commonly used to refer to a computer system that is remotely controlled by an attacker. This refers to the practice of hackers gaining unauthorized access to a network or device, allowing them to manipulate it for their own purposes.
Examples:
1. A cybercriminal used a sophisticated piece of malware to turn several computers into a botnet, with each machine acting as a cnc. This allowed the attacker to remotely control and direct the infected devices to carry out malicious activities without the owners’ knowledge.
2. During a cybersecurity breach, our organization’s servers were compromised and used as cncs to distribute spam emails. The hackers used our servers’ resources to send out a high volume of unsolicited messages, causing inconvenience and potential harm to the recipients.
