JMH · Feb 8, 2013

PandaLabs released its annual security report which details an extremely interesting year of data theft, social networking attacks and cyber-warfare.

The most devastating news? 31.98 percent of all computers scanned around the world had malware. With the addition of 2012's numbers, the grand total of all malware samples in PandaLabs' database has reached approximately 125 million and researchers estimated that at least 27 million new strains of malware were created in 2012 alone.

Trojans continued to account for most of the new threats, comprising three out of every four new malware strains created in 2012.
