ARE ONLINE AUDIO CONVERTERS SAFE?

WHY SOME SITES CAN BE RISKY
- The FBI warns that some free converters may hide malware or steal data (Malwarebytes, Tom's Guide).
- Malicious ads can infect your device even from normal-looking sites (Reddit, Kaspersky).

SECURITY AND PRIVACY HAZARDS
- Hackers can target online services to compromise files (OpsMatters).
- Without proper encryption, uploads may be intercepted (OpsMatters).

SAFER ALTERNATIVE
- Browser-based tools like The Audio Converter Hub run locally—files never leave your computer.
- Local processing avoids malware risks and keeps files private (KFGO, Kaspersky).

SUMMARY
Stick to tools that work locally in your browser or trusted apps. That way, you stay in control of your files.
