Malware use generally falls

In its latest Internet Security Report, WatchGuard Technologies found that despite an eight percent decrease in overall malware detections in Q2 2020, 70 per cent of all attacks involved zero day malware - variants that circumvent antivirus signatures, which represents a 12 percent increase over the previous quarter.

WatchGuard’s Internet Security Report, which provides a detailed look at the latest malware and network attack trends, found that attackers are continuing to leverage evasive and encrypted threats. Zero day malware made up more than two-thirds of the total detections in Q2, while attacks sent over encrypted HTTPS connections accounted for 34 percent.
