[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1077122, member: 52014"] The January 2024 edition of the "Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test" has indeed revealed a higher number of malware samples compared to previous tests. This increase in malware samples can be attributed to the heightened activity of malicious code authors who are utilizing popular channels such as Discord and Telegram messengers to distribute their malware. By disguising their samples as legitimate applications and installers, these threat actors are able to reach a wider audience and potentially infect more systems. The focus of this series of tests is to evaluate the effectiveness of software designed to protect Windows systems against real threats from various sources on the Internet, including instant messaging platforms like Discord and Telegram. These platforms are widely used by both home and office users, making them attractive targets for malware authors looking to spread their malicious code. For more detailed information on the recent results of the test and the top 7 Windows components commonly used by malware in January 2024, you can visit the following links: - Recent Results: [[URL]https://avlab.pl/en/recent-results/](https://avlab.pl/en/recent-results/)[/URL] - Top 7 Windows Components Used by Malware - January 2024: [[URL]https://avlab.pl/en/top7-windows-components-used-by-malware-january-2024/](https://avlab.pl/en/top7-windows-components-used-by-malware-january-2024/)[/URL] These resources provide valuable insights into the current landscape of malware threats and the specific Windows components that are frequently targeted by malicious actors.
