Newly Published: New Malware Paper by Johannes M. Bauer and Michel van Eeten Released as Quello Center Working Paper
Malicious software (“malware”) has become a serious security risk to all users of the Internet, whether they are large or small organizations or home users. Viruses, worms and numerous other variants of malware have developed from a nuisance to sophisticated tools for criminals. Computers all across the world, some estimate as many as 1 in 10 to 1 in 5, are infected with malware without knowledge of the machine’s owner. While hacking continues to be one approach, various other infection strategies are widespread. The paper sets out to identify externalities by analyzing the incentives under which a variety of market players operate when dealing with malware. The core of the paper is a detailed discussion of the findings of a qualitative empirical field study.
This paper was prepared for presentation at the WebSci’09 conference, Athens, Greece, March 18-20, 2009.
