A research that analyzed over 10,000 samples of diverse malicious software written in JavaScript concluded that roughly 26% of it is obfuscated to evade detection and analysis.
Obfuscation is when easy-to-understand source code is converted into a hard to understand and confusing code that still operates as intended.

Threat actors commonly use obfuscation to make it harder to analyze malicious scripts and to bypass security software.
