Share Files without Encryption

[mouakter13]

Malware is a collective term for any malicious software created to infect and cause damage to the host system or its user. There are different types of malware, including viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, spyware and adware, and scareware.

A computer virus is a type of malware that is designed to replicate and spread to multiple devices as widely as possible through infected websites, applications, emails, removable storage devices, and network routers, just like a biological virus. The goal of a computer virus is to cause as much damage as possible without the user knowing. It can easily spread through servers and destroy websites.

If you think malware, viruses and hackers are dangerous, unsecured file sharing is equally dangerous and even riskier for remote work.

Remote employees can inadvertently put critical company spain whatsapp number data data at risk through poor practices. Sharing files through unencrypted emails makes it as easy as shooting a fish in a barrel for hackers to intercept those emails and steal information.

Another risk factor is the use of cheap and unsecured devices for cloud file sharing, such as personal cloud storage drives . Additionally, employees who use peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing pose a threat to your company, as anyone can access the data files on their devices, including hackers.

Flash drives can also be dangerous if infected with malware, as they can easily bypass network security. The situation is made worse if an employee configures their system to automatically run a flash drive, allowing access to malicious content.
