Quote:AVLab.pl - Advanced In-the-Wild Malware Test January 2024:
The new year 2024 in the January edition of the “Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test” showed a higher number of malware samples than usual. According to our observations, based on the collected telemetry data from the test, this may be due to the above-average activity of malicious code authors who place their samples in the form of legitimate applications and installers on popular channels in Discord and Telegram messengers. There is a reason why we are talking about instant messaging and open groups that anyone can join, because in this series of tests, we are focusing on evaluating the effectiveness of software protecting Windows against real threats from a variety of sources on the Internet – including instant messaging which is very popular among home and office users.
