A new cybersecurity report from Kaspersky Labs notes a significant decline in the amount of ransomware targeting Internet users as compared to the growing increase of cryptojacking, in a report published June 27.
This brings the amount of Internet users in the study affected by crypto mining up to around 2.7 million.
Another cybersecurity report released this week from McAfee Labs noted that the use of cryptojacking malware rose 629 percent in the first quarter of 2018, compared to the previous quarter.
The report also notes that the “most remarkable ransomware trends” of the past year were WannaCry and Badrabbit, new kinds of ransomware that asked for Bitcoin (BTC) in exchange for unlocking infected computers.
Cryptojacking events have taken place all over the world, with police in Japan investigating a case involving crypto mining malware in June, and a new type of “snobbish” cryptojacking malware infecting half a million computers globally in just three days this May.
