OpenText announced the Nastiest Malware of 2022, a ranking of the year's biggest cyber threats.

For the fifth year running, experts combed through the data, analysed different behaviours, and determined which malicious payloads are the nastiest.

"The key takeaway from this year's findings is that malware remains centre stage in the threats posed towards individuals, businesses, and governments," said Muhi Majzoub, EVP and Chief Product Officer, OpenText.

Emotet remains the most successful botnet in existence, following a brief shutdown last year.

While the group has been around for about three years as a ransomware-as-a-service group, they continue to advance their tactics.

Shortly after a twitter account, Conti leaks, leaked Conti's internal chats dating back almost two years resulted in the dismantling of their leak site and command and control servers.
