Microsoft Office can put security at risk if:
Macros are enabled – Attackers can use malicious macros in Office files to run harmful code.
Files from unknown sources are opened – These may contain malware or phishing links.
Software is outdated – Older versions may have unpatched security vulnerabilities.
Weak passwords in Office documents – These can be easily cracked, exposing sensitive info.
Cloud syncing without encryption – Data can be intercepted if not properly protectedhttps://kanito.es
