What is Spyware? Plus, How to Protect Yourself Against It
Spyware is a type of malware that tracks your internet activity in order to gather sensitive information such as credit card numbers or demographics.
Some of the most common reasons attackers use spyware include collecting data to sell to third parties, stealing someone's identity, or spying on an individual's computer usage.
For example, you log into your favorite retailer online and begin a purchase.
Spyware can look like all kinds of things: A pop-up window that tells you your computer clock's time is off, another claiming to be a spyware alert, or even a file download box suddenly appearing that you weren't expecting.
It was in 1999 that the term hit the mainstream, and in 2000 when the first anti-spyware application was released.
From 2000 till now, attackers have only become more ruthless with their ability to gain access to our personal information.
