Some malware requires the host machine to restart in order to be fully installed, just as many legitimate programs do. For this reason, part of the malicious code might be a command to force the host machine to reboot. Arguably, the forced reboot of the host machine to enable access begins the transition from mere access to cyber disruption, because rebooting “disrupts” the function of the computer for a brief period.
