De hecho, esta descripci\u00f3n est\u00e1 correcta. El problema es que es bastante limitada. Un spyware no es solo un software malicioso, sino toda una categor\u00eda que se desdobla en diversas variantes que act\u00faan de forma distinta en funci\u00f3n de finalidades ligeramente diferentes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grosso modo, podemos decir que, efectivamente, un spyware (palabra formada por la uni\u00f3n de \u201cspy\u201d o \u201cesp\u00eda\u201d y \u201csoftware\u201d) es un c\u00f3digo de computadora cuyo objetivo es espiar a un internauta vigilando sus h\u00e1bitos en l\u00ednea, observando su comportamiento en la web y robando sus datos sensibles de la forma m\u00e1s sutil posible. A diferencia de un ransomware, por ejemplo, se trata de una amenaza silenciosa, proyectada para mantenerse invisible e indetectable dentro de un sistema durante el mayor tiempo posible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Los principales esp\u00edas<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los spywares se crean para tenerte \u201cvigilado\u201d sin contar con tu autorizaci\u00f3n.

El objetivo es vender esos datos a cadenas de anunciantes que, de esa forma, podr\u00e1n exhibir publicidad m\u00e1s seductora para tu perfil. Todo el ecosistema involucrado gana dinero cuando t\u00fa haces clic en esos anuncios.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cookies de seguimiento: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">para explicar este t\u00e9rmino, hay que detenerse un poco m\u00e1s. Las cookies son comunes y, de hecho, su objetivo es identificar tu m\u00e1quina para personalizar el contenido de un sitio cuando t\u00fa lo visitas por segunda vez, por lo cual pueden resultar bastante \u00fatiles. El problema son las cookies de seguimiento, que no son f\u00e1ciles de desinstalar y tambi\u00e9n usan tu informaci\u00f3n para prop\u00f3sitos de publicidad.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keyloggers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> el objetivo de los keyloggers es registrar cada tecla que presionas en el dispositivo y enviarle esos datos a un ciberdelincuente. La idea aqu\u00ed es la de que, entre tanta \u201cdigitaci\u00f3n\u201d, el keylogger encuentre tus credenciales para un servicio o incluso la contrase\u00f1a de tu cuenta bancaria.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Screenloggers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">muy<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">similares a los keyloggers, pero con la funci\u00f3n de capturar la pantalla de la computadora bas\u00e1ndose en la identificaci\u00f3n de clics efectuados mediante el mouse. De esta forma, el keylogger env\u00eda la informaci\u00f3n en forma de im\u00e1genes o v\u00eddeos al delincuente inform\u00e1tico.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estos son solo algunos ejemplos y, si crees que los spywares est\u00e1n mermando, te contamos que, de acuerdo a las estad\u00edsticas de la empresa Malwarebytes, el 80% de todos los usuarios de internet ya han tenido sus sistemas afectados por spyware.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adem\u00e1s de alcanzar a los usuarios finales, los spywares tambi\u00e9n se usan, cada vez m\u00e1s, para finalidades pol\u00edticas o para espionaje industrial.
