'In the fourth quarter of 2016, cybercriminals largely favored web-based vulnerabilities that could be exploited via browser software. '
'Just two years later in the fourth quarter of 2018, the security company found that Microsoft Office is now targeted in a whopping 70 percent of attacks. '
'This is evident by looking at the most exploited bugs in Office: equation editor vulnerabilities CVE-2017-11882 and CVE-2018-0802. '
'Kaspersky at its recent Security Analyst Summit (SAS) shared a trend that surprised even its own researchers. '
'Browsers accounted for 45 percent of attacks in 2016; now, that figure is down to just 14 percent. '
