Salami attack

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A salami attack is a series of minor data-security attacks that together results in a larger attack. 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.
