I’ve been dumbfounded by the rise of “malwares” as a plural to malware. Obviously malware is a portmanteau of malicious and software, and the plural of software is software. At first I just thought it was some people being wrong and they’d learn. But is this becoming a new normal? Like how cracker technically means malicious and hacker does not but everyone just uses hacker instead.
