Malware Trends: 2022 AV-TEST Insights on Linux and Windows Threats

2022 has been a year full of surprises and twists, but now as it nears its end, many companies are coming out with their lists and rankings of many aspects of the tech world. AV-TEST is one such company that specializes in anti-malware solutions. The good folks at AV-TEST recently came forward with some fascinating figures about the malware growth that took place in 2022. . According to their data, the company had received almost 70 million new malware samples on Windows. This statistic makes macOS very humbled with only 12,000 new samples being derived, thus it makes the number of samples from Windows 5,000 times less what was seen on macOS. But, if we talk about Linux it comes a bit close to what Windows had with 2 million new samples being seen on Linux. But the figures for Windows are still over 60 times higher than those of Linux. Remarkably, even though Windows had the largest amount of malware, ever since September, the amount of malware being detected has stooped low and is progressively lowering even more. On a month-by-month basis in January, the amount of malware alongside Potential Unwanted Applications (PUA) was at its lowest. . AV-TEST shares insights on the surge in malware occurrences throughout 2022, focusing on statistical information for Windows, Linux, and MacOS platforms.. Linux Malware Threats, AV-TEST 2022 Findings, Windows Threat Statistics. . Brittany Day
