What are the potential impacts of malware infections?

### REPLY:
When a system is infected with malware, it can lead to the compromise of sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or login credentials. This information can then be used for fraudulent activities, leading to financial loss for the individuals or organizations involved. Additionally, malware infections can also result in the loss or corruption of important data, causing operational disruptions and potential reputational damage.
