The ASEC analysis team is using the ASEC automatic analysis system RAPIT to categorize and respond to known malware. This post will list weekly statistics collected from June 6th, 2022 (Monday) to June 12th, 2022 (Sunday).
For the main category, banking malware ranked top with 44.1%, followed by infostealer with 39.3%, backdoor with 9.9%, downloader with 2.9%, and coinminer with 1.9%.
Top 1 – Emotet
Emotet ranked first place with 41.5%. Emotet is a banking malware that is being continuously distributed via spam emails.
Emotet, which has temporarily been excluded from the statistical calculation done by ASEC Weekly Malware Statistics, was included in this week’s statistics as noticeable distributions were spotted recently.
In its basic form, it is a downloader without additional features, but once installed on a system, it can download additional modules or additional malware.
Additional modules include user info-stealing modules that steal information such as web browser and e-mail credentials, and propagation module that spreads via shared folders. Additional malware strains include other banking malware such as Qakbot and Trickbot.
