Man-in-the-browser attacks are plaguing businesses, with almost 94 per cent of networks identified as having traffic go to websites which host malware.
According to Cisco’s 2014 mid-year security report, businesses are focusing more and more on high-impact and high-profile vulnerabilities than significant threats. By proliferating attacks against low-profile legacy applications and infrastructure with known weaknesses, malicious actors are able to escape detection as security teams focus instead on major vulnerabilities.
The report also found that the number of exploit kits has dropped by 87 per cent since the alleged creator of the Blackhole exploit kit was arrested last year.
