This is no doubt a thankless role because malware is a serious threat.
Malware accesses computer systems without the knowledge or consent of users, gathers vital information, and even damages code and programming.
The harm that malware can do can be enormous.
It can transmit users’ personal information, including sensitive passwords related to bank transactions and emails, tax returns, and business records.
