“The most dangerous software and applications in 2022” you have to watch out for

An information technology expert in Russia has warned of some software and applications that may be exploited by hackers locally to penetrate the data and devices of its users.

On the subject, the Russian technical expert and deputy director of the Trusted Interaction Technologies Center, Ruslan Primakov, said: “I expect Microsoft Office to become the most popular program among domestic hackers in 2022. And in the second place, engineering programs for industrial enterprises may replace, while Adobe Photoshop and some editing programs The other graphics will probably come in third place."

Primakov explained, "His expectations about the possibility of exploiting Microsoft Office are based on the fact that these programs are considered necessary by many and are currently in common use."

The expert warned that "imposing exorbitant fees for the use of some applications and software pushes some to use open source or unlicensed software, and this may also increase the risk of penetration of users' devices."
