Doctor Web’s Q2 2024 virus activity review

**Dr.Web Q2 2024 threat review:** Adware trojans and unwanted adware remained the most common threats, with malicious scripts and phishing documents dominating email-borne malware; encoders (ransomware) such as Trojan.Encoder.3953, .35534 and .26996 were the most frequently encountered ransomware families, and mobile threats (Android.HiddenAds, Android.FakeApp, Android.Spy) — including samples discovered on Google Play — were prominent. The report also documents phishing and fraud campaigns (targeting Japanese bank users and e-wallet customers), fake online stores and lottery scams, and malicious JavaScript/PDF phishers used in email and supply-chain abuse.
