A:

In cybersecurity, a payload is a piece of code that executes when hackers exploit a vulnerability. It is the component of a cyber-attack that causes harm to the victim. Payloads can be embedded in viruses, worms, and malware.

Payloads can carry malicious codes that can be used to hack any device beyond limits. Payloads can be sent to the victim’s device through social engineering tactics.
