Command and Control refers to the hierarchical system through which an attacker maintains remote communication with and control over compromised computer systems. This operational framework allows malicious entities to issue directives, receive data, and manage their illicit operations. In cyber warfare and criminal activities, particularly those targeting digital assets, effective command and control is central to sustained malicious campaigns.
Context

For digital asset security, understanding the mechanisms of command and control helps in tracing malicious activity and preventing further asset theft. Law enforcement and security researchers continuously analyze these communication methods to develop countermeasures and protect users.
