“The last 12 months really have marked a turning point in the history of IT security. This has been for several reasons, yet without doubt the main one has been the way in which criminal organizations have consolidated underground business models. In 2009, hackers have made more money than in any previous year, underlined not least by the total number of new and different malware samples received by PandaLabs throughout the year, exceeding by far the forecasts we made in 2008. At time of writing, there are over 40 million malware samples in our Collective Intelligence system, and we are still receiving an average of 55,000 new samples every day. This trend, which began in 2008 and has been consolidated in 2009, will continue to determine the daytoday activity of anti-malware laboratories during 2010…In this report we will take a look at how malware is evolving worldwide and we will try to analyze the main trends of 2010. Without revealing too much, lets just say the future doesnt look too bright.”
