Risks of consuming digital piracy
Did you know that digital piracy is a crime? Fraud, data leakage and even identity theft are just some of the dangers of consuming illegal content.
Provided by law as a crime, digital piracy can directly harm your security, allowing intruders access to your computer and cell phone - facilitating the leak of personal data such as your credit card and money from your bank account. See below the risks of consuming illegal content and discover some tips to stay safe on the internet:
What is digital piracy?
Piracy is the practice of selling, copying or reproducing without the authorization of its developers and owners. Accessing a pirate site is also a crime and is subject to the same penalties. Those who illegally consume, share, upload, download or market this content may be held criminally liable.
According to Brazilian law, Art. 184 of the Penal Code, the act is considered a Crime Against Intellectual Property that can lead to a penalty of three months to four years of imprisonment, as well as a fine.
The dangers of digital piracy:
Applications and software facilitate the spread of viruses because they are executable files. And they affect both the computer and the cell phone.
Downloadable contents are usually hosted on sites full of viruses that are included within the files. Therefore, the presence of several buttons to download files is common, only one of which redirects to the request - facilitating information leakage and virus installation.
When accessing a site with pirated content, you may encounter disturbing pop-ups, botnets and other cyber threats. In addition to harming your digital security, this type of material has a much lower performance, changing the quality of photos and videos, also presenting bugs and various failures.
As we mentioned earlier, these files increase the chance of being infected by malware. Some of them can steal your passwords, gain access to social networks, email, or hack your computer to gain access to your camera, personal files, photos and documents.
Want to avoid these problems?
Always try to install apps, programs, consume movies, series and music through legal websites, streams and official stores. This way you guarantee the protection of your data, have greater privacy, access to high quality content and exclusive technical support to help and answer all your questions.
