The report (PDF) was compiled by HKCERT in collaboration with security researchers. It includes data from Hong Kong’s enterprises and internet users, as well as reports received by the security watchdog.
Server-related security issues, such as malware hosting and the defacement of websites, saw a steep rise in the first quarter of the year.

HKCERT noted that there was an intermittent Ramnit malware campaign in March 2019, which could explain the growth.
In contrast, phishing campaigns continue to decline. A spike in Q2 of 2018 saw 34,391 unique phishing URLs, a figure that has significantly dropped since.

Mirai is still the number one botnet in the country, followed by WannaCry and Conficker, the report states.
