According to data published by London security company ScanSafe, one of Microsoft's ie browsers in the 2nd quarter of this year is the most popular security vulnerability used by hackers to launch attacks.
The security company said the top security vulnerability was "Exploit. HTML. Mht ". Hackers can exploit this security vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer to download and install malicious programs on users' computers. Attackers exploit this vulnerability to launch attacks to organizations. Billy uses other security vulnerabilities to launch attacks more than twice.
Roy Tuvey, manager of ScanSafe, said one of the things we have been surprised at is the growth rate of such threats. This threat has been growing at a rate of 15% per quarter. The first security vulnerability used is the security vulnerability in the browser.
The security company's research found that 21% of virus attacks occurred on Wednesday and 6% of weekend virus attacks. This problem occurs because viruses are generally transmitted over the weekend and will spread over the next week.
Researchers at ScanSafe say Trojan horses and worms account for 19% of all attacks. Spyware accounts for 12%, and email websites attack 10%.
