In November 2022, the Top 10 Malware list remained consistent with October’s Top 10 Malware except for three malware additions. Specifically, LingyunNet and SocGholish returned to the Top 10 Malware this month, while Amadey made its first appearance.

SocGholish is a downloader written in JavaScript that relies on malicious or compromised websites for distribution. It uses fake updates such as Flash Updates or browser updates.

SocGholish has been known to use Cobalt Strike and steal information. Additionally, it can lead to further malware infections, such as Azorult, Dridex, NetSupport RAT, and sometimes ransomware.

LingyunNet is riskware that utilizes the victim's system resources.

Amadey is a botnet sold on criminal forums, and it has multiple capabilities. While it is primarily an information stealer, it can also download additional malware.

The Top 10 Malware variants comprised 54% of the total malware activity in November 2022, decreasing 16% from October 2022.

In November 2022, Multiple was the top initial infection vector. Activity levels for all initial infection vectors decreased except for Malvertisement, which increased due to SocGholish activity. It is likely that Multiple will remain the primary infection vector in the coming months as the trend of having more than one initial infection vector continues.
