Hello Everyone,
As I mentioned earlier that I will tell you some ways to test the software before finally installing it on your main system, so in this thread, I will mention all the methods through which software can be checked before installing on the main system.
We have seen previously that some accounts got compromised, and now we have implemented some security and updated some rules, but no matter what we implement or what we set up, there will always be people who want to harm others systems and we can't track all of them, so your security is your own responsibility, that's why you must test the software before installing them on your main system. We are trying our best to increase the security and rules to decrease such cases in the future but that all will be wasted unless you take a step yourself and test things on your own.
If you find any Software which is suspicious, report it to the staff so that an action can be taken regarding it.
