In this type of attack, macros are involved within Microsoft Office documents, particularly Word files. through CryptoLocker, the ransomware continues to be one critical threat. The quarter has further witnessed 'potentially unwanted programs' (PUPs) spreading that had been behind 14.39% of the contaminations, immediately following Trojans.īy again using an old method for contaminating users i.e. Trojans keep being the commonest means of contamination that have infected 76.25% of Web-surfers. Most strains among the current quarter's samples are actually familiar malware that cyber miscreants have customized such that AV (anti-virus) solutions can't spot them. Panda Security's malware research wing PandaLabs has just released the second quarter report highlighting that there has been fresh records of malware being released during April-June, 2015 when a mean of 230,000 new malicious programs got spotted daily, implying an aggregate of 21m novel samples during the quarter period.Īs against the same quarter 2014 when 160,000 strains were noted, the current quarter has witnessed a rise of 43%.
