The Top 10 Malware variants for September closely resemble those of the previous month with the exception of Bifrose and CryptoWall. The proportion of Top 10 Malware to Total Malware activity is 57% in September, indicating the Top 10 Malware variants are driving the rate of malware infections.
In September 2019, malware utilizing multiple initiation vectors accounted for the greatest number of alerts in the Top 10 malware list.
