The threat of Malware, visuallised by Kaspersy



Now, whats an antivirus company if there aren't any viruses? Recently the general public interest has shifted from viruses and malware to other things (mobile, wearables,etc). This can't be good for big antivirus companies.

In an attempt to remind us of all the dangerous things that travel through the World Wide Web, Kaspersky has created a real-time-security-threat-map. It shows real time threats happening through the globe. According to Kaspersky the most threatened country is Russia. It makes sense since the data is taken from the companies security network. Being a Russian company the majority of customers are home.

In itself it is a pretty cool map, got to hand it to Kaspersky. The idea behind it though is more commercial, than with the purpose to create awareness. Here you can check it yourself.
