Downloading a "portable" version of Moldex3D or MSC Digimat from a torrent site or a third-party forum increases the likelihood of infecting a system with ransomware, keyloggers, or trojans. Even if the software appears to run, malicious code can operate silently in the background, stealing proprietary designs or holding system data hostage. In an industrial context where data integrity is paramount, the cost of a security breach far exceeds the cost of a legitimate software license.
