Mobile malware grows
almost 3-fold in Q2
Kaspersky Lab has published its Q2 cyber threats report
highlighting key security incidents of the quarter and evaluating
the Q2 cyber threat level.
51% of web-borne attacks blocked by Kaspersky Lab’s products
were launched from malicious web resources located in Russia.
Next on the list came the USA, the Netherlands, Germany,
France, Virgin Islands, Ukraine, Singapore, the UK and China.
Mobile threats
• 291,800 new mobile malware programs emerged in Q2,
which is 2.8 times greater than in Q1.
• There were 1 million mobile malware installation packages in
Q2, which is 7 times greater than in Q1. Mobile banking has
remained a main target for mobile threats. Kaspersky Lab’s
Q1 2015 report mentioned Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.OpFake.cc
which was capable of attacking no less than 29 banking and
financial applications.
At a network crossroads
IT leaders have a decision to make. Do you stay
the course with wireless that provides convenient
connectivity or do you demand better from your
network? Embracing mobility means building a
network infrastructure that’s ready to meet the
demands of business-critical applications like
voice—and is the foundation for the coming wave
of innovation. It means building a foundation
that can take advantage of contextual data
and orchestrate connectivity to support mobile
engagement, intelligent workplace and the Internet
of Things.

The Trojan’s latest version that emerged in Q2 is capable
of attacking 114 (four times more) banking and financial
applications. Its main goal is to steal the user’s login credentials
with which to attack, among others, several popular email
applications.
Q2 in figures
• According to KSN data, Kaspersky Lab solutions detected and
repelled a total of 379.9 million of malicious attacks from
online resources located all over the world – this is 19% lower
than in Q1. • During the three month period, an average of
23.9% of Internet users’ computers across the world came
under a web-borne attack at least once. This is 2.4% points
lower than in Q1.
• 26,000,000 unique malicious objects were detected, which
is 8.4% lower than in Q1. The script AdWare.JS.Agent.bg
was the most widespread among such objects – this script is
injected by adware programs into arbitrary web pages.
