Over 90% of all pandemic-related malware took form of Trojans: Report

New Delhi: Trojans pose one of the biggest threats to consumers this year, with them accounting for 90 per cent of all pandemic-related malware, a report said on Monday.

With most of the world still anxious about Covid-19 and demand for vaccines high, McAfee’s latest Mobile Threat Report sheds light on how hackers are targeting these fears with bogus apps, text messages and social media invitations.

According to the report, the researchers found evidence of an SMS worm targeting Indian consumers, forming one of the earliest vaccine fraud campaigns.
