I saw a video on youtube saying that an American worked at Disney and downloaded a github software on mac. He thought it was on github so it must be safe. As a result, he leaked this person's company secrets and was opened
It is the safest to install software on mac appstore, followed by software officially released by various serious companies (whether paid or free), cracking software and software on github are not very safe, but it feels unrealistic not to install any of them

Anonymous477 Jun 7, 2025I was thinking, if my code is confidential, I'm leaking it to AI every day Just connecting to a network software may leak secrets. It is not that this software has any backdoor Trojan horse, but the user voluntarily submits it even if it leaks. The leakage is not necessarily related to whether the software is safe Question: Will Disney employees use software produced by the company's competitors?

Poster Jun 7, 2025@ Anonymous477 # 26 This depends on how your data is processed. For example, your google search record, google will say how your data is processed, and there will be terms when you use chatgpt, and there will also be legal and regulatory restrictions, such as the European Union. Hacking malicious code to get your data happens without your knowledge.
