ThreatTrack Security, after doing a malware study, found that “visiting a pornographic Website” is one of the top four reasons that companies' “senior leadership team” members are hit with malware.

They talked with 200 malware analyst who had worked at the companies and found the following common sources of infection:

Clicking on a malicious link in a phishing email (56 per cent)
Attached an infected device to a PC (47 per cent)
Allowing a family member to use a company-owned device (45 per cent)
Visiting a pornographic website (40 per cent)
Installing a malicious mobile app (33 per cent).


It gets worse.

The study found that “more than half of the malware analysts surveyed said they have investigated or addressed a data breach that the company did not disclose to customers, partners or other stakeholders”.

Most companies surveyed now have to have an incident response team to deal with the situation.
