: Popular activators like KMSPico have been found bundled with malware like Cryptbot , which steals browser cookies, credit card information, and cryptocurrency wallet credentials.
: Some "fake" activators serve as carriers for ransomware (e.g., the Domino variant), which encrypts your files and demands payment for their release.
