Even children who want to play games must also use email to register. "The trend has shifted towards online, websites have become a place to spread malware. Email, everyone, especially in big cities have e-mail," said Kaspersky Lab's SEA Territory Channel Manager, Dony Koesmandarin, Thursday (7/2).
Kasperksy assessed that the spread of malware in 2018 is divided into two categories, which require participation from users to click or that can be directly entered into the device without any clicks.
Malware that requires public participation, for example when opening a site, appears a pop-up box that tells users to update the software. In fact, the update is a manipulation of hackers to insert malware into the device.
In addition, hackers also take advantage of vulnerabilities in the browser to include file-less malware on the victim's device. Malware that is in this category can be a local threat, entered through hardware such as USB or CD.
