** Security Considerations**

DeadBYTE is a system utility that requires administrator privileges. Users should be aware:

• Run from trusted sources only - Only download from official releases
• Administrator access - The application requires elevated privileges for system operations
• File operations - Force delete and permission changes are irreversible
• Process management - Terminating system processes may cause instability

** Responsible Disclosure**

We kindly ask security researchers to:

• Allow reasonable time for us to address the issue before public disclosure
• Avoid accessing or modifying other users' data
• Act in good faith to avoid privacy violations and service disruptions

** Acknowledgments**

We appreciate the security research community's efforts in helping keep DeadBYTE secure. Responsible reporters will be credited in our release notes.
