Avoid Software From These Countries Like the Plague

[Neemobeer]

You should always be careful what you do on the Internet in general and installing software is no exception.

Anything from Russia, China or North Korea is bad news in most cases.

A great example.

Malware stashed in China-mandated software is more extensive than thought

Move over GoldenSpy, earlier GoldenHelper malware also targeted businesses in China.

This includes TikTok as the parent company is a Chinese company, so it's likely your data is in the hands of the Chinese government.

Thanks for the heads up. Agreed, TikTok appears to be comparable to a black hole when it comes to data. It's unfortunate that so many people don't seem to care about the fact that they risk losing a lot of their privacy when installing software like this.

To be fair, these countries learnt from the US... The World has decided to track unsolicited data
