Fileless malware, BEC, digital extortion and ransomware attacks all grew significantly between 2018 and the first six months of this year, according to new data from Trend Micro.

The security giant blocked over 26.8 billion threats in the first half of the year, over 90% of which were email-borne, according to its mid-year roundup report, Evasive Threats, Pervasive Effects.

Of these detections, it spotted a massive 265% year-on-year increase in fileless techniques designed to stay hidden from traditional tools, by executing in a system’s memory, residing in the registry, or abusing legitimate tools.

My interpretation of the cryptic post:
The reported increase is only what trend micro detects, but the actual increase is much bigger.
Trend micro misses a lot of the actual attacks.
Microsoft Windows makes these attacks possible, but no other OS is so vulnerable.
