WHAT IS EMAIL BOMBARDMENT?

An email bombing is an attack on your inbox that involves sending massive amounts of messages to it. Sometimes these messages are incomprehensible. But more often, they will be confirmation emails for newsletters and subscriptions. Thus, in the latter case, the attacker uses a script to search for forums and newsletters on the internet. Then they sign up for an account with your email address. Each will send you a confirmation email, asking you to confirm your address. Also, this process is repeated on as many unprotected sites as the script can find. The term Email Bombing or Email Bombing; it can also refer to flooding an email server with too many emails. In an attempt to overwhelm the server and disable it. But that's not the goal here; it would be a challenge to cut down on the modern email accounts used. Meanwhile, Google or Microsoft email servers, anyway. So instead of a denial of service (DOS) attack; against the email servers you are using. Also, the flood of messages...

INSTALLING CRACKED FILE AFFECT YOUR SECURITY

-

There are many reasons why our systems can be infected with malware. There are many types of attacks on the network and we must always take steps to prevent them. However, it is one of the most important sources of entry for viruses and other threats when downloading software. In this article we are going to talk about it. We are going to explain what can happen when downloading cracked programs and how it could affect our security.

What Can Happen When Downloading Cracked  Software?

Many users choose to download cracked or pirated programs from the Internet. The reality is that in one way or another we can say that they are available on the net. Popular software is not difficult to come across on download pages. However, this is also a major security concern.

Let's talk about it. We are going to really explain what can happen if we choose to download software that has been hacked or cracked. How could this affect our devices and ultimately our security and privacy?

The Program Might Not Work

Undoubtedly one of the main problems when downloading software that has been cracked is that it does not work directly. We install the program but we see that either it does not even open or its operation leaves much to be desired and there are functions and features that may not be available.

Therefore we can say that the first risk that we can find when installing pirated programs is that they do not work. This is something that can happen on any device or operating system and must be taken into account.

End Up Infected With Malware

Of course one of the most serious problems is ending up with malware. There are many reasons why our computers can be infected, but without a doubt downloading cracked software is one of the main ones.

We must take into account the risk of installing pirated programs that could put our devices and systems in trouble.

Affect Other Computers on the Network

This is something that can go a bit unnoticed in many cases, but it is a reality. Installing cracked software on a computer not only affects that specific device, but it could also harm others that are connected to the same network.

It basically means that if a computer becomes infected by malware when installing such a program, that malicious software could spread to other devices on the network. There are different types of malware with this ability and it is a significant problem.

You Don't Have Access to Updates

Also linked to security is the fact that cracked software does not have access to updates. It means that we may be using an outdated program, which has security vulnerabilities that can be used by hackers to deploy their attacks.

Usually developers release security patches to correct these problems. The point is, cracked programs will not receive these updates.

No Technical Support

Something similar happens with technical support. This can especially affect companies that are using hacked tools. It may be the case that they need to go to technical support for problems they have with that program. If they do not have a valid license code, they will not be able to receive help from technical support.

Legal Issues

Of course, do not forget about legal problems. We are talking about downloading pirated software. We could have legal problems either on a personal or company level. It is another risk of downloading cracked programs.

 

Ultimately, downloading cracked or pirated software can pose a risk to our security. All that we have mentioned must be borne in mind. It is something that we must always apply, regardless of whether we are using mobile devices, desktop computers, it is a personal or business computer.

Conclusion

If you install a cracked file in your device it may also give entrance to the virus and malware which can affect you whole device which may not be detected by pirated antivirus.

So, for this always use best antivirus software that can detect these threats and fight against them and does not allow virus to enter in your device.

TESTING THE ANTIVIRUS THAT YOU USE

-

Have you ever wondered how antivirus is tested before it is available on the market? The truth is that, despite what you may think at first, these applications pass a series of tests that have the mission, obviously, of verifying their effectiveness. Well, for most IT security vendors these assessments are now out of date. Testing an antivirus before its launch is something that is done regularly. Thus, the AV Tests (name by which the aforementioned tests are known) allow users to choose which antivirus they want to install on their computers, knowing what their main characteristics are and what they protect against. So far everything normal. So what is the problem? Some manufacturers of security solutions have raised their voices against the fact that these tests are “not modernized”. In what sense? Some companies claim that, although the complexity of security applications has grown considerably in recent times, when conducting evaluations they do not test the new technologies w...
