One-third of malware comes from temp folders

A recent study by Kaspersky reveals that more than one-third of data theft incidents exploit users running files from temporary folders, such as the Windows Temp directory \C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp. These types of attacks accounted for 32% of cases. The results also showed that 35% of incidents involve the folder \C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\, which is often used for process injection and exploiting native system tools. The rise in these attacks is linked to user behavior, specifically downloading and running files from untrusted sources, often concealed within genuine system programs or activation tools. Attackers attempt to exploit malicious software that uses advanced techniques or simple methods.
