Doctor Web’s Q3 2026 virus activity review

Doctor Web Q3 2026 telemetry reports a general decline in encounter frequency but continued active malicious activity: notable findings include a multifunctional trojan that infects C++/C# developer projects (acting as stealer, miner, backdoor and clipper), increased Android malware activity (Android.Proxy, Android.Joker and banking trojans, some distributed via Google Play), persistent phishing campaigns targeting messenger users (particularly MAX and Telegram) and various fraud schemes that steal SMS/one-time codes, and modest growth in ransomware decryption requests tied to specific Trojan.Encoder families.
