India, Indonesia and Malaysia were among the top 10 countries globally to have been hit by the greatest number of malware attacks by the SilentFade group last month, according to cyber security vendor Kaspersky.
CSO, Facebook discovered the SilentFade malware family towards the end of 2018, with its origins traced back to 2016.
The SilentFade group initially made use of a combination of a Windows Trojan, browser injections, clever scripting, and a bug in the Facebook platform to deploy its malware.
