How do they get or approximate an infection count?
- bognition 6y agoLooks like the researchers are running a sinkhole that the malware phones home to. From there it’s a matter of counting unique ips and dropping cookies.
- Sebb767 6y agoAt the end of the article: > “To me, the most notable [thing] is that it was found on almost 30K macOS endpoints... and these are only endpoints the MalwareBytes can see, so the number is likely way higher,” Patrick Wardle [...] wrote in an Internet message. So it seems MalwareBytes detected it on 30k customers' Macs.
- social_quotient 6y agoYeah so I kinda wonder what percent of macs use malwarebytes.
