Ghostware Definition: Stealth malware that deletes itself after execution.
Ghostware refers to a type of malware or tool designed to infiltrate systems, perform malicious actions, and then erase itself to avoid detection or forensic analysis. These threats leave minimal traces in logs or memory, making them difficult to identify. Ghostware is often used in targeted attacks, such as cyber espionage or advanced persistent threats APTs, where stealth is paramount.
