Malware attacks have been steadily on the rise in 2017. Besides the big attacks we all hear about, like the ones government offices or major international corporations have suffered from, there are thousands of businesses of all sizes and even more home PC users who have fallen victim to malware. Most have lost data and many have suffered financial loss as a result.
According to a Proofpoint report, 33% of all Q1 2017 malicious email messages contained banking trojans, up from 25% in 2016. Although, when surveyed by Friedrich-Alexander University (FAU), 78% of users stated that they would never click an unknown link in an email message, 45% of them actually still clicked such links. User overconfidence and unsafe behavior are cited as two of the most common causes malware infections get through to endpoint computers.
