New study by Malwarebytes finds that the US has the most ransomware incidents worldwide.
Turns out you're most likely to get shaken down by ransomware in the Las Vegas/Henderson area, which in the US has the largest number of overall ransomware detections, the most detections per individual machine, and the most detections per population, according to a new study by Malwarebytes.
安全公司发现美国遭受勒索软件的侵害最为严重。具体的地理位置就是拉斯维加斯地区,该地区的总感染数、平均每台机器的感染数以及按照人头计算的感染率等三项指标均高居美国国内榜首。采样数据当然是来自全球所有的国家和地区,时间跨度是今年的7月1日到10月15日这不到3个月的时间内,大约200多个国家和地区就发现了超过40万个勒索软件侵害事件,其中美国作为国家单位占据26%,也就是发生的勒索事件数为:40万*26%=10.4万起。拉斯维加斯地区好像正在成为一个勒索软件的感染温床。原因大致可能有:首先那里的人们即使在工作状态也看起来像是在度假,警惕性好像永远也提不起来,而且大部分都是采用无任何安全防护的WiFi来上网。另外一个原因是该地区的网络安全教育水平相对较低。再加上传统制造业的衰落导致失业率居高不下,很多人无所事事,于是就上网想歪心思。这样就很容易给勒索软件创造极其有利的泛滥条件。

Locky, which was released in February of this year, has risen to become one of the most prolific ransomware attacks of this year, the study says. The rapid increase of Locky’s global footprint so soon after it was released makes it especially scary. On day one of its detection, Locky had already spread to 18 countries. By day two, Locky was in 61 countries, and by day three, 85 countries. After the first month, Locky had spread to 161 countries and right now, Locky has been detected in nearly 200 different countries.
窥一斑而知全豹。这里以勒索软件的典型代表Locky为例,说明其流传的猖狂程度。
勒索软件Locky是今年2月份被发现的,发现的当日感染的国家数量是18个;到了第二天感染的数量就增加到61个;第三天增加到85个;第一个月就已经增加到161个;而当前的国家数量已经几乎遍布全球200多个不同国家和地区。由此可见勒索软件的传播速度之快以及传播范围之广。
