It does seek compliance, but it doesn’t do it openly. Oh, no. It does it sneaky, with deception and finesse. It turns to every trick in the book. The hijacker can hitch a ride with spa email attachments or freeware. It can hide behind corrupted links or sites. It can even pretend to be an update! For example, you think you are updating your Java, but you’re not. In actuality, you agree to install a dangerous cyber menace. But that’s preventable! Just be more attentive! Choose caution over carelessness. Instead of rushing and not bothering to read the terms and conditions, take your time. Read what you are asked to agree to. Don’t just say ‘yes’ to everything. Naivety and haste seldom lead to a positive outcome. So, be more thorough and vigilant. Even a little extra attention today can save you a ton of troubles tomorrow.

Once the infection decides it has enough data, it sends it. To whom, you ask? Well, to the third parties that published it. Unknown individuals with unclear agendas having access to your sensitive data. Do you think of even a single scenario where that ends well for you? Don’t be naive. Be smart!
