JMH · Jul 29, 2012

Users who get hit with malware infections tend to be repeat offenders, and 18 of the 24 largest banks around the world suffer from infamous malware, such as Conficker, DNS Changer, Gameover Zeus, BlackHole Exploit Kit, and fake antivirus, according to new data.

Lookingglass Cyber Solutions yesterday released the new data on banks, which it says demonstrates a trend in reinfections, many of which are caused by supply-chain partners.

Sourcefire, meanwhile, found that more than 65 percent of users infected with malware were reinfected two or more times. Around 1.6 percent of users are polluted with more than 100 different infections, its data shows.
