A zero-click attack is one of the most dangerous forms of cyberattack because it requires no action from the victim. Simply receiving a malicious message, call, or file can compromise your device.
Why It Matters
- Impossible for users to detect or avoid.
- Leaves almost no trace of compromise.
- Often used in high-level espionage operations.
Real Example
The Pegasus spyware campaign used zero-click flaws to target journalists, activists, and officials worldwide.
