Employees in the education industry were the most frequent downloaders, followed by tourism/hospitality, government/politics and the energy sector. Microsoft Office torrents were second to “Adobe Photoshop,” followed by Microsoft Windows 8.1, Microsoft Windows 7 and then Microsoft Windows 10. “Grand Theft Auto 5” was followed by “The Sims 4,” “Mortal Kombat X,” “FIFA 15” and “The Witcher” as the most downloaded games, respectively. Researchers found that 43 percent of the applications and 39 percent of the games available for free download on peer-to-peer piracy sites also come attached with malicious software. Such are the findings of a report released Thursday by BitSight Insight (PDF), which assesses the cybersecurity preparedness at over 30,000 companies.
Those two titles are the most popular among pirates who use their corporate internet to download games and applications, making it more likely that users will unwittingly infect their employer’s network with malicious software. If you’re going to illegally download a torrent copy of “Grand Theft Auto 5” or Adobe Photoshop, at least try not to do it at the office. "Grand Theft Auto 5" and Adobe Photoshop are the torrent files downloaded most often by employees on their corporate networks.
