Zero-click attack

A zero-click attack is a type of cyberattack that allows an attacker to compromise a device or system without any action or interaction from the victim. Unlike traditional attacks that require the user to click on a malicious link, open an attachment, or install a rogue app, zero-click attacks exploit vulnerabilities in software or hardware to execute malicious code automatically, often just by receiving a specially crafted message, call, or file. These attacks are often used against high-value targets such as journalists, activists, government officials, and business executives.
