Pirated textbooks and Essays are full of malware
#1
Quote:(You know, the one that you can’t find in the library. The one that coincidentally was written by your professor and costs $70. The one that was used during one lesson for about ten minutes, and then quickly dumped on a shelf where it was forgotten? The one that you absolutely couldn’t buy second hand, because of some marginal change between versions? No, you’re bitter.)
But, then again, maybe you shouldn’t. Recent research from Kaspersky Labs shows that many illicitly acquired textbooks are rife with malware. During the last academic year, it identified 356,000 occasions where one of its users downloaded an infected bit of academic writing.
