For example, a fraud activity in a bank where an employee steals a small amount of funds from several accounts, can be considered a salami attack.Crimes involving salami attacks typically are difficult to detect and trace.

Answer 2

"Virus salami" is a term used to describe a type of cyber attack where an attacker steals a small amount of information over a long period of time to avoid detection. This can involve taking fractions of data or funds over time to minimize the chance of being noticed. The goal is to accumulate a larger theft without raising suspicion.

Answer 3

A salami virus attack is a programmed attack which is implemented in small (meant to be unnoticeable) increments. Due to the increments being small it makes it hard to detect at first.
