Answer
Using HashMap with multiple threads can lead to data corruption.
HashMap is not thread-safe. Concurrent modifications can lead to infinite loops or corrupted data. In a multithreaded environment, use ConcurrentHashMap to ensure safe access across threads. For example, `ConcurrentHashMap map = new ConcurrentHashMap();` provides a thread-safe alternative.
