EazyBit
Summary
Cybersecurity researchers classify EazyBit as a rogue application and a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). Data-tracking capabilities allow the adware to collect information, such as visited URLs, viewed webpages, searched queries, personally identifiable details, account log-in credentials, credit card numbers, etc., which can then be sold to third parties (potentially cyber criminals). The presence of EazyBit on devices may lead to various risks connected with system infections, privacy issues, financial losses and identity theft. It is relevant for users to be aware of the risks associated with adware and take the necessary steps to protect their devices. Finally, be cautious when downloading and installing software from unknown sources, as this can be a way for evil-minded actors to gain access to your device.
