What is the difference between malicious and compromised files?

Malicious files are intentionally created to steal data, perform unauthorized actions, or damage systems.

Compromised files, on the other hand, are initially legitimate files that have been altered or corrupted by cybercriminals due to a security breach or malware infection. Compromised files are harmful because of the modifications made to them, not because of their original purpose.
