Spyware, adware, and monitoring programs track user behavior on devices, creating privacy concerns.
Monitoring programs that track everything you do on your device, including what you type, are also known as spyware. These programs collect data such as keystrokes, passwords, web browser history, and cookies to be sent to the attacker for malicious purposes.
Companies also use spyware-like techniques to track user behavior through acceptance of terms of use agreements and privacy policies, raising ethical concerns. Additionally, Adware collects web browser history and creates unsolicited targeted advertisements and popup messages.
