Mello Jr. Mar 16, 2021 6:05 AM PT Malicious online actors used email as their prime vehicle for delivering malware to their victims in the last quarter of 2020, HP and Bromium reported Tuesday. The HP-Bromium Threat Insights Report found that 88 percent of malware was delivered by email into its targets' inboxes, many times evading measures at email gateways to filter out the infected correspondence. "Ultimately, attackers are taking advantage of the fact that it's normal to share and open documents by email," observed Alex Holland, a senior malware analyst at HP. "Finance and IT departments tend to be heavy users of macros to automate business processes, so banning them across the board often isn't a realistic option," he told TechNewsWorld.
