Fake Word to PDF Converters Spreading Dangerous Malware

Cybercriminals are using fake file conversion tools to infect users' devices with malware. The FBI has issued an urgent warning about free Word to PDF converters that secretly install malicious software, leading to identity theft, ransomware attacks, and data breaches.
- Fake Conversion Tools – Attackers disguise malware as free Word to PDF converters, tricking users into downloading harmful software.
- High Search Ranking – These malicious tools often appear at the top of search results, making them seem legitimate.
- Silent Installation – While converting files, they secretly install malware that creates backdoors for hackers.
- Long-Term Access – The malware modifies system settings to stay hidden, allowing cybercriminals to steal passwords, email credentials, and financial data.
- FBI Warning – The FBI has reported cases of such attacks, urging users to avoid third-party file converters.
Stay safe by using trusted software from reputable publishers. Many office applications already provide built-in file conversion features, eliminating the need for risky third-party tools. If you suspect malware infection, report it immediately to cybersecurity professionals or law enforcement agencies.
