Mostly crap that was targeted at users via email. Weird droppers, infected documents, PDFs loaded with some exploit. Lots of stuff that doesn't show up on Virus Total. We see a lot of stuff that attacks unpatched software and there's quite a bit that gets through the email gateway. We see frequent spear phishing scenarios where it's not uncommon for the attacker to email back and forth for a while under some pretext before delivering a malicious payload. Several situations where a party we are communicating with has been breached and the attacker will use them as a jumping off point to get to us - basically a business email compromise scenario where they jump into the middle of a conversation or document transaction with a malicious payload. We patch too, block a lot of connections at the firewall and have other layers, but it's nice when the endpoint protection stops it.
