The Guyana National Computer Incident Response Team (Guyana National CIRT) has issued a warning to the general public against the use of ‘pirated’ or ‘cracked’ software as they can lend to infection and security breaches in computers.
According to a press release from the local CIRT, software can be classified as either proprietary or ‘pirated/cracked’ and it is that of the latter category which exposes the computer to risks.
The proprietary software, is protected under copyright law and is issued by the manufacturers through vendors,
