Plenty of apps people call malware do not rob your banking account. They could be tracking your location, using your microphone, and tracking other activities. These are known as info stealers. The problem with the word malware is that it has no clear definition and is evolving along with technology and threats.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoMalware has a clear definition, it’s any software that is maliciously targeting the end user. The issue is some people have been conditioned into believing software that tracks your every move, restricts freedom to your hardware, and can be easily spied on, are fine as long as they come from [insert company of choice], because it “helps improve the experience”, or even worse, because they “have nothing to hide”.
