Many people still believe that checking if a website looks “official” is enough to stay safe. It is not. Attackers have evolved. They now use legitimate platforms and well‑known services to host malicious files and trick users into downloading content without really checking what it is.
The key lesson from recent cases involving AI tools like ChatGPT is simple:
✅ Do not trust a download just because it comes from a “famous” platform.
✅ Look closely at what you are downloading and why you were prompted to download it.
✅ Verify the true source of files, links, and installers before you open or run anything.
✅ Never run programs or browser extensions just because they appear in a trusted marketplace or on a trusted domain.
In cybersecurity, trust should always be verified, not assumed. Reach out to Bernie Orglmeister at support@skyviewtek.com or call 610‑590‑5006.
