malware-as-a-service (maas)
Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a model where cybercriminals provide access to malicious software or tools to other individuals or entities, allowing them to carry out cyber attacks without technical expertise. It is a form of cybercrime outsourcing, where the service provider rents or sells malware to others, facilitating illegal activities such as data theft, ransomware attacks, or distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
