Don’t Overlook Qualys Malware Detection | Qualys
Summary: SiteLock researchers reported that a website is attacked on average almost 60 times per day, and that 1% of all websites — about 19 million globally — carry malware at any point in time, including sites from large, well-known companies. Newegg, British Airways and Ticketmaster all recently fell prey to Magecart credit card skimming malware, and Qualys Security Solutions Architect John Delaroderie said at Microsoft Ignite 2018 that employees still inadvertently click malicious links and attachments despite years of awareness training.
Bottom line: About 19 million websites carry malware at any given moment, and the Magecart skimming attacks on Newegg, British Airways and Ticketmaster show that a well-known brand is not protection — your own site can be serving malware to customers right now.
