[QUOTE="436880927, post: 824092"] This isn't about whether the techniques applied in the malware samples are new or rarely used and whether the attack chain involves a zero-day exploit. My comment was in regards to [USER=72227]@Raiden[/USER] who later clarified what they were intending to say and then the confusion was cleared up. Whether malware samples are using new or old techniques is irrelevant. The matter of the fact is that there is a lot of malware out there aimed at home users in 2019, even if people do not want to believe it. Malware authors know that home users go on the internet looking to download pirated software/cracks, many will interact with "free download" advertisements when they aren't using an ad-blocker and that mass-email campaigns for spreading malicious documents is still successful in spreading malware to home users. We should go back to the original topic of the thread because we've gone off-topic too much now. [/QUOTE]
