1. DIGITAL
PIRACY
Digital piracy means an illegal reproduction of
digital information such as software, movies,
music, etc. It is a form of copyright infringement.
Digital piracy involves downloading & distributing
copyright material without actually paying for it. It has
taken a forefront due to the unwillingness to pay for
content or software.
Hackers practice digital
piracy with the intention of
making financial profits by
reselling the pirated content.
Digital piracy has
implications on
cybersecurity. The pirated
content can be used by
hackers to spread virus and
malware. Once infected,
they use these systems to
launch an attack.
Pirated software can
not be updated which
makes it open to
vulnerabilities. Critical
services may be
disabled for a pirated OS
as it is not validated by
an updated server.
Always use trusted software and never download material
illegally. Also, do not accept duplicated material from
unfamiliar sources.
In case affordability is an issue, it is recommended to use a
similar software from trusted open source instead of
using a pirated copy.
