Game of Thrones Season 8 Huge Target For Malware and Viruses
This comes after it emerged last year that pirated versions of GOT are a huge target for malware and viruses.
Research conducted by Kaspersky Lab and BestVPN.com reveals that the pirated versions of Game of Thrones episodes carry the highest risk of having malware.
Mariya Fedorova, a security researcher at Kaspersky Lab, said: “Other TV shows, such as Stranger Things, WestWorld and Orange is the New Black are not as popular as Game of Thrones.
“Nevertheless, they are being used in malware distribution schemes.”
While Sean McGrath, editor of BestVPN.com, said:
“These are exciting times for television fans. Streaming services have shaken things up and we are living through a new golden age of TV programming. But our love of television and desire to get things instantly makes us easy targets for those who wish to do us harm. Malicious executable files can easily be bound to video files, which means all a user needs to do is start watching a video and their computer could be infected. That’s why it’s vital to run quality antivirus software, regardless of platform or operating system.”
