Spy

A spyware is a type of malicious software designed to secretly gather information about a person or organization without their consent. It can track activities like browsing habits, keystrokes, or personal data, often for malicious purposes such as identity theft or targeted advertising. Spyware operates quietly in the background, making it difficult to detect. It can be installed through infected websites, email attachments, or bundled with other software. Protecting against spyware involves using security software, keeping systems updated, and being cautious about unfamiliar links or downloads.
