61% of users could not fully restore data damaged by malware, says Kaspersky Lab
According to a summer 2013 survey by B2B International and Kaspersky Lab, it has been revealed that 61% users lost at least some of their information forever and only 39% were able to retrieve all the data they lost in a malware attack.
It was found that one attack in five successfully steals or corrupts confidential data. For 17% of victims, that data was irretrievably lost; 44% could only restore part of their lost information. And ultimately it is the data that matters to us: the survey showed that 56% value their information more highly than the computer which stores it. Users are willing to pay for data recovery, with one in ten hiring outside experts to try to claw back the missing bytes.
Kaspersky Lab develops security solutions to answer specific features of cyber-threats. They use various sophisticated techniques to achieve their goals – rootkit technologies, vulnerabilities in legitimate applications, etc. To combat them, Kaspersky Internet Security features several proactive technologies which can repel the most dangerous threats: these include Automatic Exploit Prevention to protect software vulnerabilities, and effective Anti-rootkit systems.
