Windows And Android Malware Continue To Steal The Show
“Windows XP still has about 30 percent of market share. With Microsoft about to withdraw support for the second most popular Operating System in April 2014, the unpatched machines will represent a serious danger to the security of the networks that they are connected to and the internet in general. This might also lead to an increase in Advanced Persistent Threats. But, Windows is not the only thing in focus in 2014, Apple Mac and iOS are platforms that are gaining popularity and that will also lure attackers. ” -Sanjay Katkar.

#2 Social Media will continue to attract malware authors to devise tactics that include social engineering, malware, spam and phishing attacks.
