Identification and analysis of malware on selected suspected copyright-infringing websites
Väljaande metaandmed
Suspected copyright-infringing content represents a significant infringement of intellectual property rights. There are some websites that share such content publicly, sometimes even free of charge, without any registration. Along with this content, the websites commonly distribute various kinds of malware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), luring users into downloading and launching these files. The study provides an overview of the most up-to-date examples of malware and PUPs found on suspected copyright-infringing websites. These programs use deceptive techniques and social engineering — such as empty game installations and ostensibly ‘useful’ software — to trick end-users into disclosing their sensitive information. During the study, a variety of PUPs were discovered such as either ‘useful’ software, fake game installers and clients for video-streaming platforms. This software does not necessarily pose direct dangers to the user’s software or hardware. However, through social engineering tricks, a user might be convinced to disclose sensitive personal information or payment card details. In addition, information about the computer itself might be leaked to other parties without explicit user consent.
