Spyware
Spyware is a specific type of malware designed to covertly record, track, and collect information from infected devices. This includes trojans, adware, keyloggers, tracking cookies, and other system monitor software. Spyware is typically distributed through infected websites, pop-up ads, emails, and file downloads. For cryptocurrency users, spyware poses a significant threat as it can lead to data theft of private wallet keys and other sensitive information, potentially resulting in fund theft.
