Learn more about open source software with Ron Bongo and how pirated or cracked software can affect people – and putting users at risk.

People downloading cracked or pirated software, music, scripts and other applications not only are infringing on other people’s intellectual property but are also putting themselves at risks. Many practice this unhindered but they do not realize that such applications are rigged with malware and other similar embedded programs – giving them more than what they bargained for.

Unknown to these users, they already have spyware running on their computers courtesy of the cracked software they downloaded. These spyware are programmed to monitor the web pages you go to, gets the information you use on these sites, and use your computer’s resources without your knowledge – which will often lead to a system crash.

Your privacy is also at risk as these malware programs formulated by the most devious of hackers can easily infiltrate your personal folders without your knowledge, exposing everything you have – including vital information like your social security numbers, bank account numbers, etc – in your computers, putting you at serious risk of identity theft.

Lastly, cracked or pirated software applications can also be infected with a host of computer viruses, some of which may be new and may still be undetected by your antivirus program. These viruses can introduce malicious code into your computer, infecting files and destroying them, and eventually your computer, in the long run.
