WHAT IS BACKDOOR?

WHAT IS BACKDOOR?
               
                It is a means of access to a computer program which bypasses security mechanisms. These Backdoors are often used by attackers, who detect and/or install it themselves. A Backdoor poses security risk, whether installed as an administrative tool or a means of attack. It also helps crackers or attackers, who are looking for vulnerable systems.


                Once the Backdoor has been established by Cyber Crooks or Criminals, they gain system entry, giving them complete access to all kind of our sensitive information, such as financial details, account nos.; passwords etc. enabling them to maliciously vandalize, alter, move or delete files from the infected computer system.
