Untrusted digital content refers to movies, music, or media accessed through unofficial or unsecured platforms that can expose users to malware, data theft, and privacy risks.

• Exposure to malware and hacking risks through illegal or untrusted streaming and download platforms, which recorded 216 billion visits globally by the end of 2024
• Compromise of personal devices, with nearly 1 million computers infected after accessing illegal streaming websites
• Increased legal and security risks, as over 90% of music files shared across networks are unauthorized
• Loss of personal data and privacy, with 70% of users unaware that free streaming platforms can act as gateways to malware and other cyber threats

• Use trusted and official movie and music platforms
• Verify information before streaming or downloading content
• Keep security software updated on all devices
• Avoid platforms offering “free” content without clear legitimacy
• Follow safe online habits to reduce exposure to cyber threats

Example: You stream a movie from an unverified website offering free access. Without realizing it, malicious software is installed on your device, allowing attackers to access personal data or compromise your system.
