Opinions about this malware:

Es un malware que no daña nuestro sistema operativo, ni nuestra maquina, pero esta contra la ética y la privacidad del ser humano, ya que nos pueden encontrar nuestras credenciales, nuestras contraseñas privadas y con eso lograr chantajearnos para dar dinero real y vulnerar nuestra privacidad. Normalmente somos victimas de Keylogger con alguien conocido o cuando vamos a un Cyber y metemos nuestra contraseña de nuestras redes sociales en alguna maquina, probablemente hay un Keylogger instalado en la computadora y automáticamente damos nuestra privacidad al victimario.

Virus lethality level: high

Scope of infected computers: high
