Kaspersky Lab released its annual Kaspersky Security Bulletin,
which provides the overall malware and cyber-threat statistics for 2012. The
data analyzed in the report was obtained using the Kaspersky Security Network
(KSN), the cloud-based infrastructure used by Kaspersky Lab products to report
telemetry and to deliver instant protection in the forms of blacklists and
heuristic rules, which are designed to catch the newest threats.
The 2012 report revealed significant growth of Mac-specific
malware and an explosive growth in the number of threats targeting the Android
platform. Overall, Kaspersky Lab’s products detected and blocked more than 1.5
billion web-based attacks in 2012 and more than 3 billion infected files.
At the present time Kaspersky Lab detects and blocks more
than 200,000 new malicious programs every day, a significant increase from the
first half of 2012, when 125,000 malicious programs were detected and blocked
each day on average.
