Dual Hooked

Dual Hooking or being Dual Hooked is Hacker slang for when a malicious file, exploit, or script is booby-trapped so that instead of only attacking the target, it also tries to compromise the attacker who opens, edits, or analyzes it. Basically, a hack that hacks the hacker back.

“He thought he was testing a free exploit kit, but it was dual hooked — it backdoored his own box.”
