If the coworker has access to you personal information through their job assignment, most companies would say that they cannot give it out, except under specific, limited, and well-defined circumstances.

How does info stealer virus work?

An info stealer virus is a type of malware designed to secretly collect sensitive information from a victim's device, such as login credentials, credit card details, or personal data. It typically works by infiltrating the system through malicious links, email attachments, or software downloads, and then covertly sends the stolen data to a remote server controlled by the attacker without the victim's knowledge. The stolen information can then be used for various malicious purposes, such as identity theft or financial fraud.
