Verdict: Malicious activity
Threats:

Spyware is a stealth form of malware whose primary objective is to gather sensitive information, such as personal data, login credentials, and financial details, by monitoring user activities and exploiting system vulnerabilities. Spyware operates secretly in the background, evading detection while transmitting collected data to cybercriminals, who can then use it for malicious purposes like identity theft, financial fraud, or espionage.
