* There's no information provided on the raw volume of this malware. Large fluctuations don't mean much with low volumes - if 50 machines were infected last month and 127 were infected this month, that's their 254% right there.
* The blog post is more or less an ad for "Microsoft Defender for Endpoint" and Microsoft Edge.
