Software piracy is an unauthorised or unlicensing of software that comes out to be usually cheap or free of cost. Such software floats on online sites and in the open market when the copyright protected software is copied and modified. Containing many of the security flaws, these are often targeted by the cyber criminals to spread malware.
In September 2016, Yahoo! disclosed its data breach incident that happened in late 2014, when hackers stole sensitive details associated with at least 500 million Yahoo! account users. Not only names and email addresses, but the stolen information includes date of birth, security questions, telephone numbers, and encrypted passwords too. Shocking? I know, but that’s naked reality of the rising threats in the cyber world.
