A Client-Side Exploit is a security vulnerability that targets the software or hardware on a user’s local device, rather than a remote server. Attackers leverage these vulnerabilities to compromise a user’s system or data by tricking the user into executing malicious code or interacting with a compromised interface. The success of such exploits often depends on user interaction or the presence of specific software configurations on the client machine.
Context
Client-side exploits are a recurring concern in cybersecurity, particularly within the digital asset space where user devices may store sensitive private keys or interact with smart contracts. News reports often detail how phishing attacks, malicious browser extensions, or compromised websites can lead to unauthorized access of user funds. Understanding these attack vectors is vital for implementing effective personal security measures when managing digital assets.
