Doctor Web’s Q1 2026 virus activity review

Doctor Web’s Q1 2026 report notes a modest decline in overall detections but continued active threats: widespread adware, downloader trojans, backdoors, and encoder (ransomware) families; rising activity of Android banking trojans (notably Android.Banker.Mamont) and mobile distribution via Google Play; ongoing phishing and marketplace fraud campaigns; email-borne exploits and scripts leveraging known Office CVEs; and use of techniques such as DLL Search Order Hijacking and junk-code obfuscation to evade detection.
