Web Browser Group Test Socially-Engineered Malware - Asia-Pacific Q3 2011

In May-June 2011, NSS Labs performed the first test of web browser protection against socially-engineered malware targeting APAC users. This test was in addition to our recent European and global browser tests. Socially engineered malware (SEM) remains the most common security threat facing Internet users today. Recent studies show that users are four times more likely to be tricked into downloading malware than be compromised by an exploit.

This report focused on URLs chosen to be of significant threat to APAC users and followed the same Live Testing methodology as the global tests conducted in Q1 2009, Q3 2009, Q1 2010 and Q3 2010 (www.nsslabs.com/browser-security).
