KMSPico itself is technically a "hacktool." While the legitimate original release of KMSPico is open-source and generally clean, the file is frequently repackaged by malicious actors. Because the tool requires Administrator privileges to modify system files and the registry, it has high-level access to the computer. Unscrupulous websites often bundle KMSPico with trojans, keyloggers, ransomware, or adware. A user downloading a "KMSPico" file from a random website may unknowingly install a backdoor that steals banking information or passwords.
