In October 2022, the Top 10 Malware list remained consistent, but there were three changes. This month, Gh0st and Snugy returned to the list, and SessionManager2 made its first appearance. Snugy is a PowerShell-based backdoor that obtains the system’s hostname and that can run commands.

Other malware drops Gh0st on a system to create a backdoor that allows an attacker to fully control the infected device. SessionManager2 is a malicious Internet Information Services (IIS) module or backdoor that enables cyber threat actors (CTAs) to maintain persistent, update-resistant, and relatively stealthy access to infrastructure of a targeted entity.

The Top 10 Malware variants comprise 72% of the total malware activity in October 2022, increasing 1% from September 2022.

In October 2022, Multiple was the top initial infection vector. Activity levels for all initial infection vectors decreased except for Dropped, which increased due to Gh0st and SessionManager2 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.
