So, although this growth is definitely a factor, it is far too small to account for the growth in malware.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;If you look at data on the detections per endpoint, which eliminates any bias caused by growth in the number of endpoints, you&#8217;ll see that it&#8217;s still significantly higher in 2019 than in 2018.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The two Mac threats highlighted in the report were NewTab, a fake browser extension that loads ads instead of doing anything useful, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) from shady Mac developer PCVARK. NewTab was picked up by its products around 30 million times last year, Malwarebytes said.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Mac malware, Malwarebytes said trojans-turned-botnets Emotet and Trickbot continued to &#8220;hammer&#8221; businesses across the globe, with Trickbot infections having increased by 50 per cent over 2018. The notorious Emotet banking malware steals information including login details for financial services. Trickbot works in a broadly similar fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, detections of ransomware favourites Ryuk and Sodinokibi were up by several hundred percentage points year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p>British, French and German users of Malwarebytes are most likely to find themselves infected with adware if something goes awry, while Brit businesses tend to find registry keys set by malware to prevent security software from running effectively, rounded up under the Malwarebytes term Hijack.SecurityRun.<\/p>\n<p>The report can be downloaded from the Malwarebytes website as a 57-page, full-colour <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.malwarebytes.com\/files\/2020\/02\/2020_State-of-Malware-Report.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PDF<\/a>. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p class=\"wptl btm\"><span>Sponsored:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.co.uk\/tl\/1889\/-8120\/detecting-cyber-attacks-as-a-small-to-medium-business?td=wptl1889\">Detecting cyber attacks as a small to medium business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.co.uk\/feed\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/02\/11\/mac_malware_growing_malwarebytes\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So says Malwarebytes, anyway Software nasties targeted at MacOS are on the increase faster than ones for Windows, according to antivirus biz Malwarebytes.\u2026 READ MORE HERE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33265,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-register"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>B-but it doesn&#039;t get viruses!
